I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the ridiculousness of it all. The top hat sacrosanct?
Apparently the disagreement over the sensible new hat safety rules means HOYS Horse Of The Year Show (for visitors here who are always assumed to be foreign but mostly suspicious) will no longer be run by Sports Horse Breeding of Great Britain, I assume SHBGB even if it is a bit of a mouthful. Instead the years qualifiers will be run by British Show Horse Association (BSHA) and only open to its members.
This might all sound silly beyond words considering the use of "crash helmets" will be enforced by legislation soon anyway. One might as well get used to it.
The funny part is going to be seeing riders in showing classes in crash helmets.
My opinion, go with the flow and don't stop with the helmet, change the entire look. I think dressage riders look ridiculous with a lollipop skull cap and safety harness and tails, time to change the whole look?
