4 Equine Centre Concussion In line with current health and safety with in the industry, to include BE, BS, Pony clubs, Riding clubs, BD and the BHS, we have made the decision to not allow riders to re-mount following a fall. What if I get concussion? Under medical advise, those with concussion should rest for a minimum of 14 days. High risk sports such as riding must be avoided while the brain recovers and should be avoided for at least 14 days after symptoms have cleared. Ensure an accident form is completed and signed after the fall in as much detail as possible. The general rest time period is extended in children and young people to 23 days, therefore the earliest return to riding will be 23 days. Ask doctors to confirm that their patient has recovered from their concussion and has no signs of other brain injury -It is not essential for the parent to obtain a letter from their doctor- verbal confirmation by the parent is acceptable but this should be recorded by college equinecentre@sparsholt.ac.uk sparsholt.ac.uk
