QR It's her head at the end of the day. If she doesn't wear a hat so what!!! If she falls off and fractures her skull at the end of the day she is a grown adult. If she wants to take that risk of damage to her head if she falls off it is up to her and not up to anyone else to tell someone what they should or shouldn't be doing.
To be honest I couldn't careless if she did crack open her head because she didn't wear a hat. It's her head so it's her choice at the end of the day and no-one elses!

Agreed.

Katie Prise is an idiot, end of! I can’t wait for the her to fall of and bust herself up just so it can be on the front of every newspaper and magazine. Just a shame she will make so much money out of it.

OMG - how bitchy!! You can't wait for her to fall off and bust herself up - aren't you a nice person!!

TBH someone has just posted some pics from the warm up at the europeans, non of them have hats on either so it's not like she's the only one!

Ooooooo, come on I’m only saying what so many think but don’t dare to say because of replies like yours! Just think how big a story it was when Madonna fell off her horse!

Agreed again but she should not be appealing to younger riders with trying to sell her merchandise.
 
The thing is the KP brand targets young female riders - therefore everything she does will be seen as both related to her brand and as a role model to the young female riders she targets with her clothes and books. Am I right in thinking she was competing at prelim last year? so chances are she won't be grand prix yet, even with a great horse. So yes, she annoys me by not wearing a hat, but then so does the queen, immensley so.
 
it all comes back to the eternal hat debate doesn't it....personally i always wear my hat and always have done. but i don't judge people who don't- its their decision, yes it might be a stupid decision if they fall off and mash their heads but still their decision - most pros don't wear hats unless they have to (say in competition) but people aren't on here wingeing...most SJers for example whip their hats off after winning a class and gallop around celebrating, but people don't moan. there is also the issue that for DR you can wear a beagler which provides about as much protection as a jelly baby in most cases unless VERY well fitted.

the other issue is that should KP be wearing a hat just because she is a 'role model'? well it would concern me if my children (that is my imagined children
wink.gif
) saw her as a role model. i actually like KP a lot but i think a lot of other things she does are more of a concern for a 'role model' than not wearing a hat

Of course not, she's a model

Actually Jodie Kidd can - she's great and a much better role model IMO.

Urrm, Jodie Kidd has been caught doing far worse things than riding without a hat!

I meant in the 'horsey' world - I never see pics everywhere of her riding without a hat or behaving badly when at high profile equestrian events - the races for example LOL I've no doubt she's probably been caught doing things she shouldn't but she's not quite as out there as KP.
