A case of bilateral anterior glenohumeral dislocation in a middle aged horse rider was presented. The patient was an amateur rider who sustained the injury when the horse reared suddenly. The rider fell back from the saddle while holding the halter. The shoulders were dislocated by a violent traction when shoulders were in internal rotation and flexion in sagittal plane and slight abduction in coronal plane. To the best of our knowledge this case is the third glenohumeral dislocation by forward traction. A review of the literature is presented.
