Does anyone know of anyone who would be interested in taking outgrown riding hats? I am rapidly getting a collection of these as dd will insist on growing out of them and there is nothing wrong with them. I understand that there are health and safety implications but it seems such a shame that these are going to waste...any ideas?

I do bin my hats but I must admit I've passed a couple of ds's to friends when he's outgrown them very quickly. I can actually guarantee they've never been dropped! Because of his SN ds always rides on the lead rein and he's never fallen off. Also as far as he is concerned the hat is for riding (ASD, takes things quite literally 
) so it goes on his head when he gets on the mounting block and comes off as soon as he's ridden, then it goes in its bag in the car to go home where it hangs safely in the cupboard under the stairs. He doesn't get to carry them about so they have very little chance to get damaged, although I agree if they were old, or had been left for a long time in a hot car or something like that I would err on the side of caution.
