As a rider, I take wearing a helmet very seriously, which is why I trust Charles Owen to provide the very best in a helmet.
Did you know that equestrians and pro football players share the same amount of head trauma? According to a study published in the Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, equestrian sports have the highest rate of traumatic brain injuries among all sports. Another study published in the Journal of Neurosurgery found that helmets can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 80%. It’s important to always wear a properly fitting helmet when riding horses. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, accidents can happen to anyone.
I remember when I made the decision to wear a helmet instead of a top hat for dressage. It was a big change, but I knew it was the right thing to do for my safety and well-being.
So, let’s all do our part to stay safe and protect our heads!
