I have posted about this event before and it’s coming around again for 2015, so I wanted to share details! International Riders for Helmets Day is August 1st, 2015 (ironically the horse’s birthday in the southern hemisphere!).
What’s it all about?
What are the benefits to equestrians?
– The opportunity to be educated by retailers on the importance of wearing a properly fitted and secured, certified helmet.
– The opportunity to participate in helmet fitting demonstrations.
– The opportunity to purchase a helmet at a one-time special discount offered only on International Helmet Awareness Day.
– Riders4Helmets will host a series of live educational webinars on Riders4Helmets.com during the 2015 Riders4Helmets International Helmet Awareness Day. The webinars will feature a variety of experts in: Traumatic Brain Injury and Concussion; Psychologists; Neuro Physiotherapists; Helmet Manufacturers (tips on correctly fitting a helmet); Traumatic Brain Injury Survivors; Leading Equestrians etc. Viewers will be able to ask “real-time” questions to these experts. Details of who the experts will be, along with the topics that they will discuss, will be available nearer the date.
