A Google search would have told you that this is actively being done: FEI Risk Management page.

E.g. The percentage of rotational horse falls (higher risk of injuries for horse and rider) has decreased
from 0.51 horse fall every 100 starters (1 rotational horse fall every 197 starters) in 2004 to 0.12 rotational horse fall every 100 starters (0.12%) (1 rotational horse fall every 851 starters) in 2023. Rotational falls have constantly been decreasing since 2013.

But diverting attention from one horse sport to another horse sport is not really addressing the bigger issue: will the public support the use of horses in sport at all if we don’t collectively find ways to ensure their welfare is uppermost, and the perception of their welfare is equally high?
