Equestrian sports are in no doubt one of the most delightful sports to watch and more than that, take part in. They are like extreme sports quite similar to dirt bike, off road mountain biking and motorcycle racing. Yet unlike these sports, the very obvious difference is that the rider controls a lovely and ever dependable living being, a horse. For a horse rider, there are no mechanical parts to maintain but a horse to love and a heart to connect with.  

Yet, like any living animal with a heart, a horse has various emotions similar to what we humans have. A horse may get angry, scared and be out of control at times. Thus, it is very important for a horse rider to be prepared for these situations. One of the preparations of a horse rider that he or she must take into consideration before riding his or her horse is by gearing up and protective equipment like a horse riding helmet. 

Like any other helmets, a horse riding helmet, also known as an equestrian helmet, is specially made to protect the head of a horse rider. It is protective gear that protects the rider’s head from the horse hoof’s or any other hard objects that may cause head injuries after a hard fall from the horse’s back. This kind of helmet is commonly made with a hard shell outside of an impact-resistant resin or plastic and is sometimes covered with an attractive cloth for a fashionable look. 

There are a lot of equestrian helmets available in the market. Yet some designs are not guaranteed to protect the rider’s head and are not meeting US or international standards. Thus, this article was made to help horse riders to purchase good to great quality equestrian helmets for their practice, competition or casual protective horse rider equipment.

Come Learn About Me!

  My name is Courtney Anderson. I have been apart of the Anderson Horse Farm located in rural Heyworth for 23 years. I am 23 years old and have always known life with horses. I am a senior at ISU and also work full time at a bank. Through the horse experiences I have learned responsibility, how to care for horses, different feeding regimens, and the ins and outs of farm life. I try to spend as much time as I can outside with the horses and caring for them. I have ridden most all of our horses but my two favorites are the horses I own personally. My horses have a registered name that is on their papers and a barn name that they are called each day. My horse Denver or Zippo TE Maid and Bo or Cody Bo Winchester are the two I prefer to ride and show. I was involved in 4H for 10 years and helped others for an additional 5. I was also involved in FFA for 4 years in high school and would go to various weekend horse shows over the past 20 years. My mother started this farm and has inc...

How to: Trim Hooves

An important part of caring for a horse is understanding the things needed for their wellbeing. At the Anderson Horse Farm we have a farrier come out every 8-12 weeks.

Due to weather chan ges such as frozen ground to mud and back and also in the summer when there is little to no rain.     When the farrier comes to trim our horse’s hooves this is the process. These are things that anyone can do with their animals if they choose, they do not need a certification but do need their own tools. We choose a farrier due to the number of ho rses we have and that hooves need to be cared for carefully because diseases and sickness can affect a horse through their hooves.     First he will clean out the hoof with a hoof pick. He is cleaning dirt, rocks, sand, mud etc out of the hoof. Once that is clean he will take a knife and cut down the horse’s frog. T...
