I can relate to the story and would like to see regulation in order to raise awareness of the dangers for novice riders.
Twenty years ago I was learning to ride and was put on a retired race horse - the animal bolted and I half fell/half jumped off, breaking my arm when I hit the ground.
As a novice in any potentially dangerous activity one automatically places trust in others that is sometimes unwarranted. Regulation wouldn't stop all novices from getting on a race horse but it would dramatically reduce the occurrence.
Very sad to see Sarah's death resulting from the negligence of those who should have known better.
