Proper gear is important in any sport to keep participants safe, and horseback riding is no different. Our helmet policy recommends that all students wear helmets. Due to sensory issues, some students aren’t able to tolerate a helmet, which of course we understand and will work around. Though we provide helmets, we do recommend that students buy their own for the best fit; it must be an SEI certified – ASTM Equestrian Helmet. Smart Pak has good information on how to properly fit a helmet, and this week they are having a sale on helmets (and other equestrian safety gear) as are others such as State Line Tack and HorseLoverz.
