Here at Everything4Equine.com, we place extreme importance on riding safety. From helmets to half-chaps, all of our products are designed with safety in mind. Horseback riding accidents can't always be avoided. But riders can limit their risk of injury by wearing protective gear. In the end, preventative measures are always recommended in any type of equestrian practice.

Tipperary horse riding vests are an excellent safety product used by thousands of riders. Featuring padded construction designed specifically to help reduce fall-related injuries, Tipperary horse riding vests help keep riders safe. Similar to wearing an automobile seatbelt, Tipperary vests don't prevent accidents but help diminish injury. Thus, riders who wear them are less likely to get hurt during a fall.

Everything4Equine.com features an impressive collection of Tipperary horse riding products, including the "Eventer" multi-discipline vest. Recognized as the number one best selling protection vest in the world, the "Eventer" vest features unsurpassed shock absorption and impact reduction. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, it's no wonder this vest is used by the U.S.A. National Equestrian Team.

Another excellent Tipperary product available at Everything4Equine.com is the "Ride-Lite" youth vest. Parents of young equestrians can rest easy when their child dons this vest to go riding. Designed specifically for smaller riders, the "Ride-Lite" vest features the Tipperary "four-way twist molded channel system" for a more flexible and cooler fit, adjustable waist and shoulder straps, as well as a removable liner (for easy cleaning). Also available in custom colors, this vest is a must have for young riders.


Bull riding isn't exactly the safest career choice on Earth. Injury and bull-riding typically go hand-in-hand. And while there is little the rider can do to prevent continuous falls (save quitting), protective-wear can hinder serious damage.

Unlike horses, bulls aren't known for their extreme patience. As any bull rider will attest, bulls don't take too kindly to being mounted and will do pretty much anything to eliminate the extra weight. Despite this (or perhaps because of this) character standard, bull riding is one of America's most popular sports. Thousands of people pack crowded stadiums to watch as 200 pound men take on two ton bulls. The only thing stranger than watching a bull ride, it seems, is participating in one!

If you are thinking about training to become a bull rider, you should take every precaution necessary to insulate yourself from injury. While seatbelts are unfortunately not a standard bull option, bull riding vests perform a similar function. In providing exemplary support and shock absorption, bull riding vests drastically reduce the risk of extreme injury.

There are many protective vests on the market for bull riders, one of the most popular of which is the Phoenix Finalist Rodeo vest. Designed by seven-time Great Lakes Circuit Champion Phil Smith, the Finalist Rodeo vest features "patented Tectonic inserts and four-way twist molding" which provides excellent flexibility and protection. While this vest will certainly not keep you from falling off the bull, it will keep you as safe as possible while doing so!


The equestrian helmet is one of the most important safety items a rider can use. Designed specifically to minimize injury in the event of a fall, horse riding helmets are a riding essential. Whether it's your first time on a horse or you have been riding for most of your life, the use of a helmet can mean the difference between a minor accident and a catastrophic one.

At Everything4Equine.com, we place tremendous emphasis on the importance of riding safety. Subsequently, we simply refuse to carry helmets that don't meet ASTM standards. Riding can be a very dangerous sport. While the use of protective gear may not prevent you from falling, it will keep you as safe as possible.

The only thing more important than wearing a helmet when riding is choosing the right one. The equestrian market is literally filled with riding helmets of all shapes, sizes, colors and styles. As important as these factors might be in wardrobe selection, trust us when we tell you the only real factor to consider when choosing a helmet is safety.

The best helmets are those that feature a stamp of approval from the American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM). At Everything4Equine.com, we carry the sleek and sturdy Tipperary Sportage helmet. Not only does this horse riding helmet meet ASTM standards, but its sporty design is stylish as well. For more information about our products, please feel free to contact us.
