If you're a horse rider, worker or handler, a high quality piece of equestrian safety headgear is crucial for your riding kit bag. Often only associated with those riding, racing and training, these safety helmets are designed to protect anyone who works around horses.
Falling off is the most common horse-related hazard, but so are strikes and kicks. Therefore, you may find that at some stables and yards, riding hats are a mandatory requirement for anyone in direct contact with horses. Young children also need to be protected at all times, so if necessary, make sure they're equipped with a junior or child-sized helmet.
With all this in mind, Waterman's believe that a great horse riding helmet is more than just a tough outer shell - it should be protective and shock-absorbing, smart, professional and built for the complete comfort of an active wearer.
In this blog, we've handpicked only the most popular horse riding hats, headgear and accessories that have been a hit with our loyal customers.
