Safety is first and foremost, but the preference for the "Best Horse Riding Helmet" will come down to each individual rider – consideration for their own budget, comfort (how the helmet sits on the head, ventilation, chin strap), the shape and presentation (classic designs vs extravagant highlights), and versatility e.g. the KASK, KEP, and Samshield helmets all have removable inner linings, while Gatehouse helmets have fun helmet covers. There are many horse riding helmets available in Australia, so don't hesitate to contact your local saddlery shop to find your best horse riding helmet to suit your discipline!
