This paper specifically examines career-ending injuries to professional jockeys in Great Britain. AIMS: To investigate career-ending injuries in professional jockeys. Method: Analysis of prospectively collected injury database on professional jockeys. RESULTS: The majority of injuries in this study occurred to the head, shoulder or torso. Fractures were the most common type of injury that led to a decision to end a career, followed by neurological injury to the head and/or spine. CONCLUSION: Injuries to the head are the most common career-ending injuries, and consideration of injury counter measures could be an important strategy in equestrian sports.},
