Laura Soutar - JTE Sprint Helmet

I would like to take this opportunity to give you a massive thanks as my daughter has had a very serious fall from her pony wearing one of your JTE sprint hats. We just arrived home from the hospital today to find the April edition of pony mag on our doorstep with the Riding hat guide from JT helmets in it. As we have just experienced how important it is to wear your hat i felt i had to write and tell you about our experience.

My daughter is 11 years old and has been riding since she was 4 we have 2 ponies one of which she has not had long only 6 months to be exact and they are still getting to know one another it was this pony she was riding. She was in an inclosed outdoor arena which is fenced in with wooden post and rail fencing. She was putting the pony over a very small jump when the pony decided she was not going to jump, the pony ducked out of the jump and headed for the fence my daughter lost her stirrup and the pony turned sharp and she fell off the otherside of the pony this happened very close to the fence which my daughter banged her head off.

My daughter ended up in hospital with major concussion and amnesia and some cuts and bruises however if it was not for your JTE sprint hat things would have been so much worse. We took the hat to the hospital with us to show the doctors how bad the impact was and am so glad we did as they all realised when seeing it how bad my daughters concussion was the hat cracked on the outside and the inner shell absorbed all the impact.

After about 5 hours in the hospital my daughter started to come back to normal and feel better she started to remember the accident she was kept in overnight for observation and thankfully all she has is a small bump and a few scratches left. I feel if it was not for the quality of the hat my daughter would have been in a very serious way. We went out today after returning home to buy a new hat and have bought the exact same one as we have been so impressed with the quality and endurance of the helmet.

After reading your article i just had to write and thank you as we understand the importance of safety when riding, my daughter was so lucky to have been wearing a good quality hat and body protector and always will in the future too.

Emma Shakkell - JTE Classic

My name is Emma Shakkell and on the 24 of May I was out riding a horse in one of your JTE Classic/ I am writing to tell you that the hat saved my life.

I was riding out on my own I was on a horse that had never done anything wrong before. No one knows what happened that day as I can not remember a thing until I got to the hospital. That is where they told me I had a broken neck and that I was very lucky to be here.

Your hat did not smash it just stayed on my head and broke into two parts. We think for the injury that I have got that the horse dragged or kicked me. But we are just so happy that your hat did its job and made it so that there are no more injuries.
