That is awful!! So glad you are mending and it could have been so much worse! I cannot understand why anyone would get on a horse without a hat and your accident confirms my views. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Libertylou very sensible decision, I bet after my thread your quite relieved! x
Had a fall with same model of hat and the peak had just sort of crumpled, but my face was uninjured so I think a peak does provide protection but they obviously make them so that they do give way. Years ago I fell on my face wearing an old fashioned velvet hat with a peak and the peak just stuck into the ground so that I couldn't get up! Hope your recovery goes well.
Thank goodness for your hat! And a darn shame about the jacket

I had a similar fall to yours, last year, wearing the same make of hat. At the time I was very cross because because I'd had it less than a month and had only worn it a few times. When I was thinking straight again, I was really glad that I hadn't been wearing my old hat as the new one saved me from serious injury, I replaced it with one exactly the same.
I was wearing a Mountain Horse Bodyguard jacket and was relatively uninjured apart from a few bruises.
Bloodyhellfire and.Glad your ok. Glad horse is ok .(even if he did desert you.He probably would say he was going for help.
