38. North Dakota – Horse
While horses are valued companions and work animals in North Dakota, they can also be dangerous. Horse-related accidents, such as kicks, bites, or trampling, cause serious injuries each year. Riders may also suffer fatal falls or be crushed during riding or handling. Horses are large, unpredictable animals that can spook easily, especially in unfamiliar environments or when exposed to loud noises. Proper training, wearing helmets, and maintaining calm, consistent handling techniques are vital for safety. Children and inexperienced riders are particularly at risk. Education about horse behavior and consistent supervision can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents in both equestrian and farming communities.
