Approved Equestrian Helmets

Approved Riding Helmets

A good riding helmet is the most important protection for a rider. The applicable certification is indicated on each model according to the manufacturer's documentation. In the European Union, EN 1384:2023 is the current harmonized standard; some models also declare ASTM/SEI, PAS 015 or other accepted standards. We work with leading brands such as Kask, Charles Owen, Freejump and CAS CO.

Choosing the right horse riding helmet depends on the discipline (dressage, show jumping, cross-country, hacking), ventilation, adjustment system and, above all, size. Consult our riding helmet guide to measure your head circumference and choose wisely. You will also find children's helmets with the same approvals.

Key fact: The FEI accepts various testing standards and requires applicable standard and quality control markings; always check the certification declared on each model and the current regulations.

How to choose

Approval

Check the standard and markings declared on the inner label. In the EU, EN 1384:2023 is the current harmonized reference; for competition, also consult the applicable FEI regulations and list.

Fit

A well-fitting helmet stays in place without a chin strap and does not move when you turn your head. Size is measured by actual head circumference.

Ventilation

Vents and ducts improve comfort in warm climates without compromising protection if the design is approved.
