Equestrian Sunglasses & Safety Glasses

Sunglasses have been in existence in various forms since the twelfth century. Developments of technology in the manufacturing processes of sunglasses is continually improving. As knowledge of the importance of eye care advances, so does our understanding of the requirement for sufficient protection for our eyes.   

Despite spending a lot of time outdoors, an aspect of our wellbeing as equestrians that we often forget about is our eyes. It is imperative that we protect our eyes from bright sunlight and potentially harmful UV rays, whether driving, riding, or walking.

Sunglasses for horse riding are often used in disciplines such as eventing, racing, and carriage driving. However, our equestrian community have reported using specialist horse riding glasses for safety during other activities too, such as hacking and leading horses in sunny conditions. Some equestrian sunglasses can be used in conjunction with a helmet or riding hat, thanks to their innovative design and specialist construction.
