You\u2019re not alone, but the good news is that we are here to help.<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">There are several different standards available to buy now, and also a range of standards that have been retired\u2026 but you might still be using them or have them in the back of your tack room!<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">We all know that it\u2019s important to replace riding hats at least every five years (and every time there is a significant impact), but do you know what you should be buying and what\u2019s right for you? Read on\u2026<\/p><\/div><h2 style=\"margin: 2.75rem 0 1rem;padding-left: 0.75rem;border-left: 4px solid #5c2d82;line-height: 1.25\">Check the rules<\/h2><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">First up, if you\u2019re looking to buy a new riding hat and you compete with a specific organisation, check their current rules. They will list the hat standards that they accept for competition, so this is a great place to start.<\/p><h2 style=\"margin: 2.75rem 0 1rem;padding-left: 0.75rem;border-left: 4px solid #5c2d82;line-height: 1.25\">What are the different standards?<\/h2><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">Now, you might be wondering what the different standards actually mean? Essentially, the codes relate to the type of testing that the hat has been subjected to. We\u2019ve detailed this below:<\/p><ul style=\"margin: 1.6rem 0;padding: 1.25rem 1.25rem 1.25rem 2.8rem;border: 1px solid #e4d9eb;border-left: 4px solid #5c2d82;border-radius: 8px;background: #f6f2f9\"><li style=\"margin: 0 0 0.8rem;padding-left: 0.15rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.65\"><strong>PAS015 2011<\/strong> \u2013 this standard has been tested for flat impact, edge impact, spike impact and crush resistance.<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0 0 0.8rem;padding-left: 0.15rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.65\"><strong>EN1384 2023<\/strong> \u2013 this standard has been tested for flat impact, edge impact, spike impact and crush resistance.<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0 0 0.8rem;padding-left: 0.15rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.65\"><strong>VG1 01.040<\/strong> \u2013 this standard has been tested for flat impact, spike impact and crush resistance.<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0 0 0.8rem;padding-left: 0.15rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.65\"><strong>ASTM F1163 2015 and 2023<\/strong> \u2013 this standard has been tested for flat impact and edge impact. The 2023 version is also tested for crush resistance.<\/li><li style=\"margin: 0;padding-left: 0.15rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.65\"><strong>SNELL E2021<\/strong> \u2013 this standard has been tested for flat impact, edge impact, spike impact, round\/hemisphere impact\/anvil, horseshoe impact\/anvil and crush resistance.<\/li><\/ul><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">The ASTM F1163-15 and SNELL E2021 standards are most common in the US.<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">Do keep in mind that the height that hats are dropped from, the height the spike is dropped from and the level of crush resistance varies between the standards. You might want to review this helpful chart from the British Equestrian Trade Association (though you may wish to expand the image to view it properly or <a style=\"color: #5c2d82;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"https:\/\/beta-uk.org\/hats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visit BETA<\/a> to request a copy).<\/p><figure style=\"margin: 2rem 0 2.25rem;padding: 12px;overflow: hidden;border: 1px solid #e3e3e3;border-radius: 10px;background: #ffffff\"><a style=\"cursor: zoom-in\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/10\/Riding-Discipline-Rule-Requirements-RB-Equestrian.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Open the BETA riding discipline rule requirements chart at full size\"><br \/><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"width: 100%;max-width: 1000px;height: auto;margin: 0 auto;border: 0\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/10\/Riding-Discipline-Rule-Requirements-RB-Equestrian.jpg\" alt=\"BETA riding discipline rule requirements chart showing accepted riding hat standards\" width=\"1000\" height=\"708\" \/><br \/><\/a><\/figure><div style=\"margin: 2.25rem 0 0;padding: 1.5rem;border-left: 4px solid #5c2d82;border-radius: 0 8px 8px 0;background: #f7f7f7\"><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">There are plenty of retired hat standards out there in the world, and there are many stories about equestrians riding in incredibly old riding hats. These simply will not offer the same level of protection as the more modern standards detailed above.<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">Although no one ever wants to fall off \u2013 and don\u2019t plan to \u2013 protecting yourself as well as you can in the event of a fall can help to reduce the severity of any injury. No riding hat or piece of safety equipment can prevent an accident occurring but wearing a riding hat of the correct standard (that hasn\u2019t been subjected to previous impacts) can make a huge difference. It can literally make the difference between life and death.<\/p><\/div><section style=\"margin-top: 3rem;padding: 1.5rem;border: 1px solid #e4d9eb;border-radius: 12px;background: #f6f2f9\"><h2 style=\"margin: 0 0 1rem;padding-left: 0.75rem;border-left: 4px solid #5c2d82;line-height: 1.25\">Need more help?<\/h2><p style=\"margin: 0 0 1.2rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.75\">Contact RB Equestrian today for further assistance with getting the right riding hat.<\/p><div style=\"margin: 1.5rem 0;padding: 1rem 1.15rem;border: 1px solid #eee6f3;border-radius: 8px;background: #ffffff\"><p style=\"margin: 0 0 0.5rem;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.6\"><strong>Telephone:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #5c2d82;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"tel:01908365335\">01908 365335<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin: 0;font-size: inherit;line-height: 1.6\"><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #5c2d82;text-decoration: underline\" href=\"mailto:service@rbequestrian.co.uk\">service@rbequestrian.co.uk<\/a><\/p><\/div><div style=\"flex-wrap: wrap;gap: 12px;margin: 1.5rem 0\"><p><a style=\"flex: 1 1 210px;align-items: center;justify-content: center;min-height: 50px;padding: 0.8rem 1rem;border: 2px solid #5c2d82;border-radius: 5px;background: #5c2d82;color: #ffffff;font-size: inherit;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.35;text-align: center;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/pages\/contact\/\">Pop in store \u2013 we are only 10 minutes from central Milton Keynes<\/a><\/p><p><a style=\"flex: 1 1 210px;align-items: center;justify-content: center;min-height: 50px;padding: 0.8rem 1rem;border: 2px solid #5c2d82;border-radius: 5px;background: #5c2d82;color: #ffffff;font-size: inherit;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.35;text-align: center;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/pages\/hat-and-protector-fitting\/\">Discover more about our free riding hat fitting services.<\/a><\/p><p><a style=\"flex: 1 1 210px;align-items: center;justify-content: center;min-height: 50px;padding: 0.8rem 1rem;border: 2px solid #5c2d82;border-radius: 5px;background: #5c2d82;color: #ffffff;font-size: inherit;font-weight: bold;line-height: 1.35;text-align: center;text-decoration: none\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/rider-protection\/protection\/riding-hat\/unisex\/adult\">Explore our riding hat range now.<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/section><\/div><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-2946\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Free-hat-fitting-at-RB-Equestrian-300x146.png\" alt=\"Free riding hat fitting at RB Equestrian\" width=\"800\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Free-hat-fitting-at-RB-Equestrian-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Free-hat-fitting-at-RB-Equestrian-768x375.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2024\/09\/Free-hat-fitting-at-RB-Equestrian.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do riding hat safety rules seem confusing?
