Risk Management Forum @ Tattersalls 2009

Friday 29th May following the riders meeting
Rider Safety Discussion with emphasis on Rotational Falls.

Agenda

• Potential impact of course design/building and rider interface with designer/builder in minimising risk.
• The scope for rider responsibility, education and ethos to minimise risk.
• The role of the horse and its training in minimising risk.
• The role of legislation and the administrative bodies in minimising risk.

Format for this Forum:
Specialist teams(predominantly riders) will present researched papers on the agenda items. Each paper will take 3-5 minutes followed by 3-5 minutes of interaction between the specialist teams and the floor. The event will be recorded to allow accurate of analysis of input post forum and so that rider group sentiment can be shared first hand with national federations and the FEI sub committee on eventing safety.

Objective of the Forum:
Provide a forum where a large rider grouping can take a more proactive approach to defining the riders role in solving the problem of the rotational fall.

Preparation:
Input is now being sought globally by the teams preparing their papers under the above agenda headings and anyone with a useful point or consideration is encouraged to send it to Sheila Lavery (slavery@eircom.net) who is collating data for the team leaders.
