Anyone mounted at a British Showjumping competition or activity, whether competing or not, must wear protective headgear at all times, with the harness properly adjusted and fastened. It must meet one of these standards:
| Standard | Condition |
|---|---|
| EN 1384:2023, PAS 015:2011 or VG1 | BSI Kitemarked or Inspec IC marked |
| ASTM F1163 (2015 or 2023) | SEI certified |
| Snell E2016 or E2021 | Snell certified |
| AS/NZS 3838:2006 onwards | With the SAI mark |
British Showjumping strongly recommends checking your hat regularly and replacing it if it's damaged or after a fall.
