Equestrian Helmet ” Its Design and Importance

by Lisa Blackstone

An equestrian helmet is a piece of armor, usually made of metal, designed to protect the head when riding horses. It is a headgear that is specifically designed to protect the head of the rider if the rider falls off the horse. Falling off a horse can happen to every equestrian rider. And this can lead to serious injuries and sometimes death.

Most horse related injuries result from falling off a horse and being kicked by a horse, which may cause skull fractures. This is the very reason why helmets are now being required to be worn by riders whenever near or on the horse. Some states in the United States even have law requiring riders under 14 years of age to wear helmet at all times when horseback riding.
