Injuries

Has anybody noticed an increase in injuries in the last few weeks?

We had a total of 16 injuries to our horses in the first 4 months of this year, but have had 27 injuries in May alone, including 7 in the last 3 days.

Are we the only stable experiencing this phenomena and do I need to revamp my training schedule (which hasn’t been changed for a couple of years)?

Last year I had a huge spike in injuries, but not this year (yet).

I’m used to maybe 4 or 5 injuries a month, spread out fairly evenly throughout each month. I’m just not used to so many in one month.

It’s not as if all the horses getting injured are low on Energy or Fitness, some are even at A-A when they get injured.
