Charlottes hat can you enlighten me

[mbsports]

Sorry might be a numpty question but why is her hat different? The others all had tophats

 

[ruth83]

Because she chooses to wear an up to standard crash hat rather than a top hat.

 

[mbsports]

Oh good for her I don't dressage I just persumed tophats were the standard dress code, Better for safety surely!!!!

 

[SO1]

she is obviously a very talented lady and I don't blame her wanting to protect her head, also she is a good role model for the children and young people watching.

Pretty certain I've seen her in a topper before. Cynic here - perhaps a good sponsorship from a hat manufacturer!!!

She used to wear a top hat although I understand she had a fall and decided she'd switch to a crash hat.

Maybe she is sponsored by a hat manufacturer but good luck to her

Its a Charles Owen Leather Ayr 8. She had it custom made as she wanted the piping

Yes she had a fall off a youngster and since then she has worn a fitted hat. Very good role model especially as she is now an olympic champion

Over the last few days I wondered how long it will be until these are on sale, probably spot them at a Dressage comp near you soon

I can't understand why she didn't take it off for the medal ceremony? She was also interviewed hours later on BBC 1 and still had it on!

She wore it so that all could see the CO logo on the front.

Hat hair perhaps? Happens to me all the time lol

 

[Moomin1]

Seriously, does it matter if she was interviewed with her hat on because she *may have wanted to advertise her sponsor (if that was the case)? Fact is, she, for whatever reason, protected her head, so that is a good thing and is a very good message to everyone watching, young or old.

 

[Toast]

Not only that, she'd just won a flipping gold medal, the hat was probably the least thing on her mind$!

 

[shadeofshyness]

I reckon with the heat and stress she didn't really want to take it off to reveal sweaty riding hair when her face would be all over the news! Don't blame her

Maybe because she would have had ' wet hat hair' who cares - she won gold
