How do you choose a child's riding hat for riding lessons?
Safety in the saddle starts from the very first lesson at the pony club. For a young rider, a riding hat is the essential protection against knocks. Whether it is a children's riding hat with a fun design or a plain one, what matters most is that it sits securely on the head without squeezing.
To find the right size of children's riding hat, a few checks will guide your choice:
- Head measurement: measure around the head with a soft tape measure, about 2 cm above the eyebrows and across the bump at the back of the skull.
- Stability: once the chin strap is fastened, the hat should not tip when the head moves.
- Comfort: there should be no pain and no pronounced red marks on the forehead.
