Falls during the cross\u2010country phase can have very serious outcomes up to and including death for both horse and athlete. Therefore, understanding risk factors associated with falls is essential for improving equine and human welfare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To provide descriptive statistics and identify risk factors at the horse\u2010, athlete\u2010 and course\u2010level affecting horses competing in F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Equestre Internationale (FEI) events worldwide.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Study design<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Retrospective cohort study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Data collected by the FEI of every horse start worldwide in all international (CI), championship (CH), Olympics (OG) and World Equestrian Games (WEG) competitions between January 2008 and December 2018 were analysed.

Results suggest that a potential risk profile can be constructed for each horse\u2010athlete combination prior to entering a given competition, based on individual histories and course\u2010level factors. This could lead to interventions that can reduce the number of falls, thus protecting equine and human welfare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/evj.13522","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,6]],"date-time":"2021-10-06T04:47:44Z","timestamp":1633495664000},"page":"885-894","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Equestre Internationale eventing: Risk factors for horse falls and unseated riders during the cross\u2010country phase (2008\u20102018)"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9049-1920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Euan D.","family":"Bennet","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bristol Veterinary School University of Bristol  Bristol UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather","family":"Cameron\u2010Whytock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Animal Rural and Environmental Science Nottingham Trent University  Southwell UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tim D.
