Childrens Riding Hats

Children's Horse Riding Hats & Helmets

Protecting young riders is our top priority at Discount Equestrian. Our children’s horse riding hats and helmets not only meet the latest UK safety standards but are also approved for Pony Club and BHS regulations. With lightweight, comfortable, and fun designs, our range ensures that every child can ride safely and confidently—while expressing their personality.

Choosing the Right Riding Hat

When selecting a children’s riding hat, safety and fit are paramount. All our hats are certified to the latest standards. For younger children, helmet weight is especially important—lighter hats help reduce strain on developing spines. The Uvex Kidoxx is a popular starter helmet, offering a lightweight, adjustable fit as your child grows.

Always ensure your child’s helmet fits snugly and comfortably. Adjustable harnesses, padded linings, and various shapes help achieve the right fit. For the best safety and comfort, we recommend an in-person fitting by a qualified hat fitter whenever possible.

Fun, Safe & Stylish Options

Our children’s riding hats come in traditional colours like black, brown, and navy, as well as fun shades and sparkly finishes. Many helmets feature playful designs—unicorns, hearts, and more—making safety exciting for kids. Features such as ventilation, lightweight materials, quick-release buckles, and soft harnesses ensure comfort for every ride.

Whether you need a fixed-size or adjustable helmet, you’ll find options that grow with your child and match their style. Use our helmet size chart for guidance, or reach out for expert advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What safety standards do your children’s riding hats meet?

All our hats meet the latest UK safety standards and are approved for Pony Club and BHS regulations. Always check the label for current certification.

How do I measure my child for a riding helmet?

Use a soft tape around the widest part of your child’s head, just above the eyebrows and ears. For best results, have a professional fitting in person. Our team is always happy to help—call, email, or visit us for advice.

Are lightweight and adjustable helmets safe for children?

Yes, as long as they’re properly fitted and certified. Lightweight helmets reduce strain on young spines, and adjustable designs grow with your child for lasting protection.
