Equestrian sport treats the award ceremony as the safe, celebratory close to a competition day. Survey and physiological data say otherwise. Riders rate themselves as most nervous during the test and warm-up, but their horses are reported as most tense during the lap of honour. Kicks were named as the leading cause of ceremony injuries to both riders and horses, though at different rates: 36.5% of rider injury cases versus 58.5% of horse injury cases.
