BRC Riding Hat Guidelines. Bespoke and custom hats. 29 December 2007 1.
It is mandatory for all Members to wear a protective helmet at all times when mounted with a chinstrap fastened and adjusted so as to prevent movement of the hat in the event of a fall. The correct fitting of a horse riding body protector is essential and we recommend going to a reputable outlet where the body protector will be fitted to the person who is to wear it. So try storing your protector in a warm but not artificially hot environment to ensure its nice and flexible for that early morning ride.
Im looking to buy a body protector before we start hacking out there are soooo many I just dont know what one to get. And shes had both a while i think the bp may have been a hand me down Shes now doing a bit of everything XC showjumping ect ect and joining the PC. And if we dont have a hat or body protector that we think is satisfactory we wont sell you one that isnt.
All competitors must also wear a British Equestrian Trade Association BETA 2009 approved and appropriately labelled Level 3 purple label body protector. Your safety is paramount dont take chances. Shes fallen off on both recently.
Whether youre a happy hacker or a professional show jumper having a correctly fitted hat and body protector is essential. As for hats I love my Gatehouse HS1 and my CO Ayr8 both fit my massive head well and are very comfortable. Most body protectors are made from heat sensitive PVC nitrile foam which is why they feel increasingly comfortable as they soften and mould to the wearers body.
