Safety is our primary concern when working with horses, we understand they can be totally unprectictable, and always try to minimise the risk. The single most important item of P.P.E (Personal Protective Equipment) is your Riding Hat, horses can travel at speeds in excess of 30mph, and falling off and landing on your head at that speed can be fatal, at least with a riding hat you have a chance.
