Horseback riding lessons and health insurance?

Of course. The government doesn't care, nor does the place you ride at- If you get hurt, it's your problem. Of course, usually trainers must have insurance of some sort to protect them from lawsuits from injured clients, but unless you train you don't need to worry about that EDIT: Oh, you're new, aren't you? Yes, you'll get hurt. You'll fall off, get your toes stomped on, ect. ect. Usually you'll just get bruises and soreness, but it is possible to be seriously injured or even die. Of course, the risk is different depending on what discipline you do- People who do Western Pleasure on trained horses very rarely get hurt, but Eventers commonly get injured (Example: We have to have an ambulance at every show, and I don't remember the last show I went to that that ambulance wasn't used at least once.) , even killed. (Introducing the Rotational Fall: http://equineink.files.wordpress.com/200… http://www.nationalequinestudent.com/cus… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYeiS3axj… ) Of course, there are things you can do to reduce the risk of serious injury significantly. Don't ride green, young, or untrained horses until you are experienced enough to handle ANYTHING they throw at you, don't attempt new things like Jumping without a experienced trainer, wear appropriate footwear (No flip-flops or sandals!), use correctly fitting tack in good repair (You don't want something to break mid-ride!) wear an ASTM/SEI Approved helmet for every ride- Heck, if you want, you can even wear a safety vest . The fact is riding IS dangerous, perhaps more so than many other sports. I mean, we are not dealing with inaminate objects like many sports- We have to take into account another being, one much larger than us. A basketball doesn't spook at the net- A horse can spook at anything, rear, and go over backwards. (Which I've had happen, and it isn't fun! ) But that's part of the fun.
