Which hats are ‘legal’

There seem to be a lot of changes to hat rules at the moment. The best way to keep up with what is approved and what isn’t is to visit the British Equestrian Trade Association website or the governing body website of the sport you’re involved with. There is currently a document on the BETA website which can be viewed here.
