Hello from Montana, where we are building an injury prevention program
directed at young western riders. We have a significant obstacle in our
state's loyalty to the traditional cowboy hat. I just viewed an
equestrian helmet video made by the University of Washington, that shows
a safety helmet being seated inside the bowl of a traditional straw
cowboy hat. I would be curious if anyone is habitually doing this and if
they have some pointers like which helmet they have found fits best
under a western cowboy hat. Our 4H-ers want to show in a wide brimmed
hat. Can't blame them, but we want them safe everyday as well. Thanks
for all responses.
