Children’s Equestrian Helmets – Safe, Comfortable, and Made to Last

Choosing the right children’s equestrian helmet is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when kitting out a young rider. Whether your child is just starting riding lessons or actively involved in Pony Club and local shows, a properly fitted helmet provides essential protection every time they ride.

Why Choose a Children’s Riding Helmet?

Our range of children’s riding helmets includes trusted, safety-tested designs from top equestrian brands. All helmets meet current UK safety standards, offering reliable protection while remaining lightweight and comfortable for everyday use.

A good children’s riding hat should provide a secure, stable fit without causing pressure or discomfort. Modern designs focus on combining safety with rider-friendly features –ideal for active young riders who spend plenty of time in the saddle.

For added safety in the saddle, many parents also pair helmets with children’s body protectors, especially for jumping or cross-country activities.

Getting the Right Fit

Fit is everything when it comes to choosing the right children’s horse riding hat. Because children’s heads grow and change shape over time, helmets should be checked regularly and replaced when needed – not only after a fall but also every 3–5 years. 

Many styles feature adjustable systems or padded liners to help ensure a snug and secure fit as your child grows. However, helmets should never be worn once they’ve become too tight or loose, as this compromises safety.

To keep your helmet in top condition, store it in a dedicated riding hat bag to protect it from knocks, dust, and sun damage.

Practical for Everyday Riding

A childs riding hat should work just as well in a lesson as it does at a local show. That’s why we offer a wide variety of styles to suit all riding levels – from weekly riding school sessions to regular Pony Club rallies.

Pairing a well-fitted helmet with supportive, correctly sized children’s riding boots helps create a complete and comfortable kit for confident riding.
