Welcome to Premium
Horseback Riding Helmets &
Safety Products!
Dear
Parents,
.........To
minimize the risk of head injury, most camp directors and riding instructors
require that each rider wear a protective helmet when riding a horse.
The American Medical Equestrian Association (AMEA) strongly recommends
the use of helmets to minimize or prevent injuries associated with horse
riding activities. Helmets used by riders must meet certain standards for
retention, chin straps, impact, absorption and penetration tolerances for
sharp objects. Our company offers such helmets, each of which bears the
seal of the Safety Equipment Institute
(SEI)-ASTM. Our Prices are deeply discounted.

An
important fact about the use of a helmet....
• Studies from the U.S. Pony club show
a drop in the number of horse related head injuries since the ASTM standard
was introduced in 1990. The United States Combined Training Association
(USCTA) statistics show a drop in the number of head injuries since the
ASTM helmets have become widespread.

Q. Why can't
a rider just use a bicycle helmet?
A. Bicycle
helmets are similar to Horseback Riding safety helmets in appearance, but
are not subject to the design specifications and standards that a
riding helmet must pass in order to provide adequate protection. The
most noticeable difference between these two types of helmets are the padding
inside the helmet. Most Bicycle helmets have padding to protect the
top of the head, and then they are filled in with comfort foam which
offers no protection at all. A true Horseback Riding Helmet offers additional
protection to the back of the head and the sweatband area of the
helmet. Horseback Riding Helmets are tested by the Safety Equipment
Institute (SEI) for Chinstrap retention, penetration by a sharp object,
and for impact absorption. These tests are specifically for
horseback riding related accidents. All helmets must meet the
American Society of Testing Materials
(ASMT) standard F-1163.95a.
