yes no matter what a riding hat should always be worn while riding a horse as if they get spooked they will rear or kick (usually) and you could end up with severe head damage or even death if not wearing a hard hat.

The Horse should work harder than the rider, if the horse is working correctly, this will be the case. The rider does a lot of work to keep the horse going/moving where he should.

The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
