Frequently Asked Questions About Equestrian Safety Vests
What do equestrian safety vests do?
Equestrian safety vests reduce bodily injury from falling off a horse by absorbing the impact of hitting the ground and reducing shock.
Do you need a body protector for horse riding?
They are required for eventers in the cross-country phase. Other disciplines do not require them, but they are allowed.
How do you fit an equestrian safety vest?
To find the best fit, first, determine what you will wear the equestrian safety vest over. If you plan on wearing it over heavier clothes, be sure to measure yourself wearing those clothes. Equestrian safety vests are meant to fit snugly against the body, so the type of shirt you plan to wear under it is crucial. While the most important measurement will be the chest, you should measure yourself at the waist and along the spine for length.
