Riding Hat Standards are changing
Please note that from 1st January 2016 everyone riding at Houston MUST wear a riding hat that
conforms to the British Kite Mark standard PAS015, as required by all approved riding
establishments.
The BS EN 1384 standard is being withdrawn. Therefore riding hats conforming to this standard
alone can only be worn up until 1st January 2016.
If you have riding insurance you should check to confirm when this ruling comes into force for you,
otherwise you may not be covered by your insurance.
Additional information can be obtained from the British Horse Society website.
The Information should be detailed on a label on the inside of the riding hat and will usually be
accompanied by a British Standards kitemark symbol similar to the one opposite.
However, if you are unsure please feel free to ask when you are next at Houston and someone will
check your hat for you.
