Spring is so close that we can almost smell it – but we, and our horses, have to get through the end of winter first. As horse owners we know this time of year can be the trickiest. Our horses, and particularly their digestive system, thrive on consistency and gradual changes.
Ever wondered about helmet safety standards and if your hat is safe and up to date? Below we will hopefully explain the standards and show you what to look for to make sure your helmet is doing the job of keeping your head safe in the event of a fall.
There are 3 international equestrian safety standards or marks: PAS015:2011, VG1 01.040 2014-12 and ASTM F1163:2015. Some hats carry just one of the standards and some are produced to meet all three of them. Here at Discount Equestrian we only sell hats which conform to one or all of the safety standards.
Each standard tests different impacts and accident scenarios involving a horse and typically they test impact on a flat surface, impact on a hazard edge, having a spike hit the hat (such as a stud) and crush resistance (having a horse fall with you and land on your head)

What is sweet-itch?
