    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 always wear a hat. I have to admit that I have never worn a helmet even though there have been times that I should have.

    Well, It depends.
    Trail riding = hat
    Ranch riding = hat
    life = 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.

    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!

  181. Amber Gray

    March 27, 2015 at 12:22 pm

    At home riding I wear a helmet, sometimes a visor. During a competition run, I wear a black felt hat.

  182. Julie

    March 27, 2015 at 12:24 pm

    typically a baseball hat unless I am showing then it is either a western hat or helmet, depending on the discipline.

    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.

  191. Kelly Ross

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

    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.
