🚁🐎 Horse riding incidents are one of the many emergencies air ambulance crews respond to every year. If a helicopter lands near you and your horse, here’s how to stay safe, with tips from @gwaac :
1. Give an accurate location to 999—use What3Words if possible.
2. Stay with the injured person (if safe) and keep them warm.
3. The crew needs a clear landing site—ideally an empty field without horses.
4. Move horses if you can—they can be spooked by the helicopter.
5. Don’t stand in the landing zone. Head to the edge of the field if needed.
6. Try to guide the Air Ambulance to an open area.
Avoid suggesting or leading them towards arenas, as obstacles within them can make landing unsafe.
7. Dismount if horses are nearby and you can’t vacate.
8. Wear hi-vis if near an incident—it helps crews spot you.
9. Never approach the helicopter until the blades stop.
10. Follow all safety instructions when it’s time for take-off.
🧠 Stay safe. Your actions can help save lives.
