Hatless riders in ads again!

[Dovorian]

Although I donlt worrk what people do at home, I really think it takes the busciot when you see a hatless lead rein rider in the Mears catalogue!!!!!

Pretty much is pure ignorance..
I agree.. it is pretty pathetic and damned well dangerous.

Yes that is ridiculous. I don't like seeing any photos of people not wearing hats in publications. It sends out completely the wrong message.

I hate seeing hatless riders full stop. It's idiotic when arrogance and vanity take the place of safety.

I'm pretty sure my hats have saved my head a few times!

it makes my tummy turn over!!! a very good freind of mine who has been riding 40 years mainly mad horses! was out on her daughter pony when the pony slipped and she came off - she was luckily wearing a new hat which saved her life - but she suffered brain trauma and now has trouble with speech/memory and other things - she cannot ride or go running which she was passionate about - cannot work (she loved her job) nor can she drive - a lesson for everyone i think.

I completely agree....a lady who I passed in the road the other day was not wearing one and her horse was dancing all over the road and in the end up the bank....the horse its self looked high quality but strong and the horse only has to jump, buck or even rear and thats it...also its no good saying the horse is extremely well behaved as sometimes things happen out the blue which can cause problems...
I dont feel right not wearing a hat, bit like driving a car with no seatbelt....

I think its ridiculous, however last time i picked up on the topic i got slaughtered for it!! i landed straight on my head off a normally bombproof pony last summer......(i was wearing a hat, a new pale pink one at that :-( )

I cant stand people that take there hats off or do not wear a hat on any horse, horses are unpredictable animals! even the most bombproof horses can have a blip!

Maybe the pony took acception to being ridden by someone wearing a pink hat!

I think you mean the child do you? Awful ad too - !

i think its daft, especially in catalogues etc... in a horsey catalogue.. why have a hatless rider when you could advertise a hat?
