Three things to consider when buying a riding helmet
Start by measuring your head – the helmet’s size is the same as the circumference of your head. The helmet should not be too big and slide around, as it needs to protect your entire head and neck. The peak should point straight ahead, not up or down.
For children, we recommend that you choose a helmet that can be adjusted, to adapt the size as the child grows. It’s also a good idea to choose an adjustable helmet if you want to be able to ride with an undercap or your hair tied up.
It’s important that your helmet has a CE mark, as this means that it’s compliant with the EU health and safety requirements. Many helmets also have a MIPS system, which is a rotation protection that protects your head against harmful rotation if you hit it falling off the horse.
Remember to replace your helmet if it has been subjected to impact, for example by you falling off a horse or just dropping your helmet on the stable floor. Otherwise, a good guideline is to replace it every three to five years.
