Skull Caps and Covers

The skull cap is a fabric cover that stretches over the helmet, inherited from horse racing where each stable has its colours. In eventing, riders wear it on a smooth-shell helmet, without a hard visor. The skull caps from QHP or LeMieux, featuring unicorn, Halloween, or classic designs, also personalise the helmet during training. The jersey cap cover from Premier Equine protects the helmet from dust and scratches.

Numbers and Number Holders

In competitions, each pair has a starting number, which must be displayed clearly for the judges. The number holder, like the QHP Clip, attaches to the browband of the bridle or the saddle pad, and the four-digit numbers from Horze slide into it. The jumping numbers from Premiere are used to mark a training course, to practice memorising a route as in competition.

Belts, Caps, and Extras

An elastic belt, like the one from Harry's Horse, moves with you in the saddle without getting in the way, while belts from LeMieux, QHP, or JD Attack complete the competition outfit. The caps from Ariat, Equiline, or Equestro protect you from the sun at the stables and by the arena, but never when riding, where only the helmet provides protection. Spur straps from Horka, saddle screws Tekna, the saddle pad holder HorseGuard, and the towel Kentucky complete the tack set.

Other Accessories

Rider accessories include gloves, protective gear, bonnets and scarves, baggage, whips and spurs, on the accessories page. Horka bracelets, with a horseshoe or bit design, make lovely gifts for enthusiasts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do eventing riders wear a skull cap?

The skull cap, inherited from horse racing where each stable displays its colours, stretches over a smooth-shell helmet, without a hard visor, worn in eventing. It makes the rider identifiable from a distance and personalises the helmet.

How to attach a competition number?

The number slides into a number holder fixed to the bridle, on either side of the horse's head, or is worn on a bib for eventing. It must remain readable for the judges throughout the competition.

What gift to give a rider?

A skull cap with original designs, a stable cap, a belt matching their competition outfit, or an equestrian bracelet will please riders of all ages. These are small items easy to choose without knowing their helmet or boot size.

Is a belt necessary with riding trousers?

It is not mandatory, but it completes the competition outfit and keeps the trousers in place while riding. Choose a slim belt, in leather or elastic, without a bulky buckle that could get in the way against the saddle.

What is the purpose of a cap cover?

The jersey cap cover, like that from Premier Equine, protects the helmet from scratches and dust, and adds a pop of colour during training. It slips on in seconds and washes easily.
