Equestrian

Regular physical activity is vital for good physical, social and emotional health. While there is a risk of injury with any type of physical activity, the benefits of staying active far outweigh the risks.

You can reduce your risk of exercise injury by:

• wearing the right shoes
• using the correct equipment
• drinking water and staying hydrated
• warming up and stretching properly
• being aware of your surroundings – always exercise and compete in a safe and level area clear of any obstacles or items
• maintaining social distancing rules when necessary (stay at least six feet away from others)

Stop exercising and seek medical help if you experience symptoms such as:

• discomfort or pain
• chest pain or other pain that could indicate a heart attack, including pain in the neck and jaw, pain traveling down the arm, or pain between the shoulder blades
• shortness of breath
• a rapid or irregular heartbeat
