I see quite a few children wearing these now at riding lessons, and wondered what the general opinion of them was, and how worthwhile they are. I hadn't even thought about them, but DH was asking what the reasoning was. As I understand it, they don't protect against back injuries, only bruising?
DD has riding lessons, does a bit of jumping, but nothing very serious. Do your dc wear them for that kind of general riding? Forgive me for my ignorance, in my riding days wearing a riding hat was the height of safety awareness, and only well off seriously committed children had proper riding boots / jodphurs etc, now everyone seems to.
