A. SEI approved helmets must be worn by all exhibitors in all
Hunt Seat Classes, whether mounted or on the ground in
halter and fitting and showing classes, or at any time when
dressed in hunt attire. SEI helmets must be worn in all
Gymkhana (Speed andAction) classes and in all Physically/
Mentally Challenged classes. No exhibitor will be permitted
in these classes without an approved helmet. There will be
no discrimination against protective headgear, even if the
style does not match the style of riding. Harnesses must be
secured (straps snapped!) and must properly fit the head.
A well fitted helmet should stay on the rider's head when
the rider bends over at the walk & shakes his/her head from
side to side. The exhibitor (or his/her parent or legal guardian
if a minor), not their local show officials or judge, is solely
responsible for complying with this rule. (State 4-H Horse
& Pony Project Show Rules & Regulations).
