In 2010, Riders4Helmets hosted the first national event designed to educate equestrians on the benefits of wearing a properly fitting, secured and certified helmet. The event brought over 300 U.S.-based retailers and eight helmet manufacturers together, to help educate customers on topics such as correct helmet fit and why wearing a helmet is important.
In succeeding years, Riders4Helmets expanded the event globally. Riders4Helmets International Helmet Awareness Day 2018 received support from 19 helmet manufacturers and hundreds of equestrian retailers in twenty six countries.
The original one-day event has become a weekend, which will be held Sept. 14 and 15, when most retailers offer discounts on helmets.
