Air Jacket and dressage

[supertramp]

Good afternoon. I have purchased an air jacket following a silly fall, which found me with a concussion, We think he may have been stung/bitten and sent me into orbit. I wear the jacket all the time now, so question is, can i used it for affiliated dressage when i take the plunge? To me now it feels like riding with a helmet, necessary protection.

Can I wear a body protector and/or air jacket

Thread 'Survey request - horse owner decisions'

26 January 2026

Hello fellow horse owners (or if you've owned a horse in the past 10 years) - I have a BIG request.... do you have a spare 15-30 minutes to answer my survey on horse owner decisions? (I have approval to post this through Admin).

As part of my Master's dissertation, I've developed a survey to understand the decisions horse owners may make for horses who require maintenance treatment to be comfortable when ridden or competed, or for horses who are retired to the paddock, with or without maintenance treatment. You don't need experience of either of the above situations to take part. Your...

I always wore my air jacket for competing, including dressage.
