It is always best to wear a helmet, and strongly suggested if you are a child. However, the laws can differ from state to state. Log on to your state or county website and you can find out what the laws are for your state there.

Why do horse riders wear hats?

A fall from a horse at great speed or with force (ie being bucked off) can cause serious injury. The 'hard hat' worn by horse riders is a helmet designed to reduce injury to the head in the case of a fall. Often, Western riders don't wear them (preferring the traditional cowboy hat which keeps them cool and prevents sunburn), but it is the policy of many ranches and most pony clubs to require them. Even when riding your own horse on your own property, you should wear a helmet. You can always wear another hat over the top.
