[alectodiromeo]

How COULD they!?!

 

[Laurenm01]

Tradition, I guess! Not recommended though obviously!

Oh dear the trolls have dug out of the snow

 

[Izzwizz]

Be it on their heads if it all goes pear shaped!!!

 

[bigboyrocky]

Tbh i dont think you hear of many stories of people being injured when not wearing a hat.. its usually personal opinion, or tradtition, and i agree its not good, but if theyre happy not wearing one and can accept the consequences, then i dont see any problem

 

[mole]

explain - i dont get it

 

[Gingerwitch]

urm but have you seen one of the holiday ads on the tele - girl married to footballer cantering horsie on beach -no hat!

And tits for brains pink plastic person was seen hatless - suppose it makes a change from topless lol

 

[ladyt25]

Hee hee funny - why haven't you included the pic of Louise Redknapp on the Thompson ad though?! Lol

 

[wildwest]

I think your post will get deleted - a lot of copyright infringement going on

 

[OneInAMillion]

Grrrr!

The pic in H&H the other day of a SJer at Olympia in a prize giving with his hat off and the horse reared right up!

 

[3BayGeldings]

lmao! Love it... It's true though, so many people don't wear a hat yet the 'elf and safety lot never pull them up. I say let people wear what they want to wear. Their head, their choice

Obviously a troll, but still made a good point!

 

[FrodoBeutlin]

I don't think the dressage riders in the photos you posted have a choice really!

 

[Gingerwitch]

the dog isnt wearing one either !

 

[Maiko]

Oh dear, what a silly thread. The hat debate has been done to death. I guess the OP has lots of time on their hands due to being snowbound, and has trawled ( or "trolled"?) the internet looking for pictures of heinous criminals.

Yawn.

 

[FinkleyGladiator]

You must have alot of free time...

 

[Prince33Sp4rkle]

agree with the above-its all about personal choice and risk assement....

.....i never wear at hat on the flat at home (except for 2 horses of clients that i make an exception for as they are a bit quirky and as i dont ride them on a daily basis im not as 25 steps ahead as i am on my own horses).if a client asked me to wear one i would of course do so. one trainer requires hats to be worn, the other doesnt, and the yard i clinic at also requires it, so i politely comply. people who ride at mine are welcome to do whatever they want, i hate it when people try to force their views on me so id never try and influence people either way.

my mum always wears one, my sister doesnt, up to the individual.

i always wear one to hack, as there are so many more oustide factors that you have to factor in, not least idiot drivers!

 

[JoBo]

But a lot of those are wearing a hat of some sorts????!!!!

 

[PoppyAnderson]

Yes but I think the point is that they may as well not be 'cos they've got no straps.

 

[mac]

Hats off for presentations is traditional and its down to the individual to decide.I dont always wear a hat and it ms that would have to deal with any consequences so there isnt a problem

 

[lannerch]

I think the point is the word troll!

Do not feed

This has to be one of the funniest things I have heard, really made me smile GW. Hope your old girl is doing better today also

 

[Shrek-Eventing-SW]

And you know whats really fun??
Riding with no hat, no saddle, no bridle, god that is the best!
On a serious note, this post is really quite pointless, many of the riders pictured are wearing a top hat, what is it then if it isnt a hat. The man hunting is wearing a hat. Most probably a patey hat made to measure his head. Just because it doesnt have a strap doesnt mean anything tbh! It's a riders choice whether he or she rides without a hat.

Exactly. May not have 3 point harnesses but they are still wearing hats!

 

[PoppyAnderson]

I didn't say it did mean anything (not having a strap on yer titfer) - I was simply pointing it out. I couldn't give a fig either way. However, I do believe the poster might be avin a larf, so tootly pip.

 

[LadyRascasse]

what made me laugh is she has posted photos of them out hunting wearing hard hats lmao

 

[Shrek-Eventing-SW]

Yeahh I was implying what anyone said, I was only replying regarding OP.

 

[3BayGeldings]

... they're beaglers so not exactly going to help in the event of a fall
