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.
At competitions, riders are required to dress in formal attire. That means that the rider should be wearing white or tan breaches, wear a white show shirt or polo, a black, blue, grey, and sometimes red show jacket, a black helmet, and
black tall boots. Otherwise, when just riding for fun, you can wear whatever you'd like.
