I sometimes wear a ball cp to keep my hair out of the way while riding. I ride with a helmet on when I’m training horse or riding by myself. Safety first!
I wear a helmet. Just started this last year. I don’t even notice it’s on anymore and will often walk around the yard putting everything away before remember to take it off 🙂 Before I started wearing and helmet I would only wear my hat if it was required at a competition. I wasn’t a fan of it.
For many years I never wore a hat or helmet. I was a riding instructor. A few year back I finally dicided to be a better role model and have ridden with a helmet ever since.
The hat is an essential accessory mounted, it became part of my life practically. When I take my hat, I have the feeling of being missing some piece of clothing
I wear a helmet when I ride as I am concerned about safety in case of an accident. I wear a helmet as it is easy to wear once I found one that fits my odd shaped head.
I think wearing a helmet is way better than wearing a hat because if something happen when riding your horse, you have a helmet on to protec your brain. Your helmet blocks the sun from your face as well as a hat can do.
I own a hat, but have only ever ridden in a helmet. In my opinion, helmets are much safer if you fall off. You will be less likely to injure yourself, and more likely to ride for another day.
I personally don’t go a day without wearing my Stetson. It’s part of me and we’ve been through a lot. It’s a constant reminder of how lucky I am,(From the hoof print in the brim.) The cowboy hat is also part of my heritage and it provides a great view of those Sandhill skies as a plus!
These days, I wear a helmet whenever I’m on a horse (heck, I try to wear a helmet even when I’m around horses). When I was younger, my rule was if I was wearing a button down while riding, I also wore a cowboy hat. If I was a wearing a shirt, a baseball cap.
I have always worn a hat. Now my doctor said I need to wear a helmet. I wore a hat yesterday out of habit, but I really do need to remember the helmet. Prefer a hat though.
I usually do not wear a hat nor a helmet when I ride. I wear my cowboy hat when I am up in a rodeo, but I never got in a habit of putting it on before I left the house every day.
Yes I always wear a helmet when I ride, and have been very thankful. I had a concussion once with the helmet on, without it who knows where I would’ve ended up.
I used to barrel race …back in the day….always wore my cowboy hat with a lucky feather. Now I’m way older and wiser…I hope…helmet is the new rule for me.
Yes, I wear a helmet even when just in the backyard. I have a friend who was sitting still on her horse, talking to her instructor after a lesson, when the horse dumped her on her head. She had a concussion from that little encounter!
Yes, I always wear a hat when riding a horse, but a modern hat that protect my head. I was under the horse 15 years ago, by walking the horse to the arena, nobody knows how it happens, because I lost my memory. I failed to die. Much less risk of this kind with a hat, that I am wearing sinice this time always. Greatings Bettina
I always 100% of the time wear a helmet. I have cracked 2 helmets in my lifetime and if it weren’t for the helmet it would of been my skull. I also feel more confident while riding with a helmet.
Absolutely, every time! Ball cap if not going to be out too long. Cowboy hat if going to be in the sun awhile or competing. Have a super day! Thanks for the contest!
Always a helmet. I was thrown onto an asphalt parking lot, dragged, and kicked a couple of times in the head by my panicked green horse before the stirrup released my foot. I would not be alive if I had not worn a helmet.
It depends. When I’m racing I wear a helmet but when I am just riding I either wear a baseball hat or nothing. Sometimes when it is really sunny I will wear a cowgirl hat

I think wearing a helmet is way better than wearing a hat because if something happen when riding your horse, you have a helmet on to protec your brain. Your helmet blocks the sun from your face as well as a hat can do.
