Hi Pykey, bet there was not a word about Amanda's tragic accident, just the same as there was no coverage about the recent two horrendous fatalities at Parkgate, Wirral, horse trials even though it is a local Merseyside event.

Both involved very young women one a trainee vet from Leahurst Vetinary research centre.

Humbug or what?

Don, similar surveys in the past, years ago when Priness Anne had a bad accident on her Olympic horse Psalm, riding horses was classed as the most dangerous sport resulting in fatalities particularly head injuries and brain damage.

At that time out of the league table of dangerous sports surveyed horse riding came top, motor cycle and car racing came bottom.
