This is a not a knowledgeable riding family. I'd like some guidance please on choosing a helmet for an 11 year old grandchild - walk, trot and canter, some hacking and has started to jump.
I wear a Gatehouse HS1 helmet. Most of my riding is hacking. OH wears a Charles Owen J3 jockey skull.
I notice that the girl's hat, a Champion advantage is lower specification. It meets only BSEN 1384 and has three anchors for the straps rather than four.
Should I buy her a better quality hat? The Charles Owen comes in a child's version with PAS015 specification. And I think the HS1 also come in child sizes now.
What do other people buy their kids?
