I believe the only difference in testing standards for
equestrian helmets and other helmets is that the
helmet is also tested to withstand a blow from a hoof
shaped simulation.

P.S. I don't know what happened to my post about
Sunbody Hats. They just put up a hat on their website
called a topless hat just after my conversation with
them about a cowboy hat to fit under a helmet. It's
under fun and funky hats. They will sell it to us for
$6.90
