At the 2009 USEA Annual Meeting and Convention, British Equine Scientist Dr. David Marlin delivered three well-attended presentations, one of which addressed leg protection and the research done on cross-country boots. He explained about the risks event horses face, most specifically to the lower forelegs and the superficial digital flexor tendon, when substandard boots are used.

Ü Safety for Horses and Riders in Eventing - Following a five-year study this report is directed at the policy-makers in equestrian sport. Until this project began, the Equestrian Federation of Australia (EFA) collected no information on the sport of eventing. There was no central database of competitions, starters, results, falls or injuries. The findings provide a useful source of information when policy-makers look at future rule changes, as they will provide comprehensive data about risks of horse and rider falls, as well as correlations between jump types and the risk of falls.
