Rider Safety |
|
Buying your riding hat or body protector online may save you a little money, but will it save your life? The most important aspect of a riding hat’s safety is not, as you may think, its specification, but how well it fits. Your life may depend on your hat, poorly fitted it might not provide you with the protection you were expecting. Below are the statistics from a recent small, but worrying Horse & Hound/BETA survey of competitors at Royal Windsor in May 2010. 43% had hats that did not fit [87% thought their hat fitted]. A staggering 83% did not have the straps adjusted correctly. These figures suggest that having your hat fitted by a trained professional is going to make a significant contribution to your safety. The same applies to body protectors, correct fit is essential to maximize the performance of the equipment. What ever else you buy online, please don’t buy your safety equipment. Put your safety 1st, we do, come to us, get your or your child’s hat fitted correctly, our experience will give you peace of mind. You can also take advantage of our FREE follow up check, we even remind you when to come back and see us. |
