Horse Riding Hats – Certified Safety and Trusted Brands for UK Riders

Wearing the right horse riding hat is one of the most important ways to stay safe in the saddle. Whether you're schooling, hacking, or competing, a properly fitted helmet gives you confidence and crucial head protection - whatever your discipline or experience level.

Today’s equestrian riding hats combine certified safety with comfort, style and performance. All helmets in our range meet UK and European standards, including EN 1384:2023, PAS 015:2011, VG1 01.040 2014-12, and many carry the BSI Kitemark - essential for most affiliated competitions.

Styles to Suit Every Rider

From skull caps to smart show hats, our collection includes a wide range of horse riding hats designed for different disciplines and rider preferences:

• Skull cap horse riding hats – With a rounded, peakless design, skull caps are ideal for cross-country, eventing, and pony club. They’re often worn with silks and body protectors for high-impact activities.

• Adjustable helmets – Great for growing riders or anyone wanting a tailored fit. Rear dial systems allow easy adjustments for different head shapes and sizes.

• Peaked riding hats – Typically finished in smart microsuede, leather, or gloss materials, these hats are ideal for British Dressage and other formal disciplines.
