Rider Safety

Whether you're hacking out on country lanes, schooling in the arena, or heading to your next competition, rider safety should always come first. Our Rider Safety collection is designed to help you feel confident, secure, and comfortable every time you get in the saddle.

Why Rider Safety Matters

Riding is an enjoyable and fulfilling activity, but taking the right safety measures is essential for every rider. Even the most experienced riders can be caught off guard by an unexpected spook or stumble. That’s why investing in the right horse riding safety gear is essential – not just for your peace of mind, but for your long-term health and wellbeing.

From protective helmets to high-visibility gear for hacking, each piece plays a vital role in keeping you safe. And with today’s technology and design advancements, you no longer have to compromise on comfort or style to stay protected.

Safety Starts at the Head

A correctly fitted and safety-certified riding hat is the most critical item of protective equipment for any rider. In the event of a fall, it plays a vital role in reducing the risk of serious head injury. All riding hats in our range meet current UK safety standards, including PAS015 and VG1, ensuring you’re competition-ready and protected at all times.

We offer a wide variety of styles to suit every discipline and budget – whether you're a leisure rider or an eventer. Our team can also advise on hat fitting, so you can ride with confidence knowing your gear offers maximum protection.

Body Protectors

Adding a body protector to your riding gear enhances your overall safety, especially during higher-risk activities such as cross-country or jumping. With today’s advanced designs, they provide impact absorption without compromising comfort or movement — offering riders added confidence whether they’re training at home or competing.

Be Seen, Be Safe

If you’re hacking out on the roads or riding in low light, hi-vis horse riding gear is a must. From reflective tabards to hi-vis jackets and hat bands, our visibility range is specifically designed to make riders more noticeable to motorists and other road users during hacks or roadside riding.

Hi-vis gear for horses is also available and plays a key role in completing your visibility profile — helping ensure you and your horse are clearly seen from every angle, especially in low-visibility conditions.

Gloves, Stirrups & Safety Extras

While helmets and body protectors form the core of your safety gear, the smaller details play an important role too. Riding gloves help to prevent blisters and provide a secure grip on the reins, particularly in wet or cold weather, supporting control and comfort throughout your ride.

We also stock a range of safety stirrup irons and treads, including quick-release designs ideal for novice riders or those seeking extra peace of mind. These features can help reduce the risk of entrapment during a fall, adding an extra level of protection with minimal compromise on style or performance.

For Every Rider

Whether you’re just starting out or have been riding for years, our Rider Safety range has something for everyone. We stock trusted brands known for quality, innovation, and safety compliance – helping you make the right choices for yourself and your family.
