Your stop for everything equestrian
Hello everyone!
This weekend is International Helmet Awareness Day promoted by Riders4Helmets. It is a subject that I feel really strongly about and that I have dedicated several posts on this day.
This year I decided to return to the basics and provide a little guidance on choosing a helmet and the time to change it for a new one.
Hello hello … this weekend is the International Helmet Awareness Day from Riders4Helmets and this year I want to reflect on how much there has been achieved in the last few years on the matter. This is my second year writing about this subject. You can see my previous post here.
Tomorrow is the International Helmet Awareness Day promoted by Riders4Helmets and I want to talk about it. For me the decision is already taken. I ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET. That’s the end of it. I value my head and sadly I didn’t came with a spare so I can’t break it.
I just read an article on The Chronicle of the Horse that they interviewed some of the Dressage riders that took part in Rio. The answers or some of them is the the hat look ”more classic”, but they use helmets when training at home. I really don’t understand them, shows are places with a lot going on and you are more susceptible to accidents.
Hope you had a great week! This time I want to talk about cleaning your helmet. I personally think that is a part of our tack that is sometimes forgotten, but it should be cleaned constantly because has direct contact with our foreheads and can cause skin problems and is something that particularly looks bad when it’s dirty.
