TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - The hidden menace of non-equine horses JO - Medical journal of Australia A1 - Craven, John A. A1 - Schutz, Jacquie K. SP - 724 EP - 725 VL - 193 IS - 11-12 N2 - An emergency department audit of horse-related injury presentations alerted researchers to a hitherto un-investigated source of childhood harm: non-equine horses (pommel horses, rocking horses, spring-bottom playground houses). A search for the term "horse" in the database of the South Australian Injury Surveillance and Control Unit was performed for presentations of horse-related injuries to a paediatric emergency department of an Australian tertiary teaching hospital over a 5-year period. After all equine-related episodes were extracted, the remaining presentations were herded together and conclusions were jumped to. When legitimate science and research technique failed, poetic license was prevailed upon.
