ABSTRACT:
An equestrian show helmet includes an impact resistant outer helmet shell formed to cover a wearer's head. The helmet shell has an upper dome-shaped portion and a lower rim extending from a forward portion of the dome, thence rearwardly to a pair of lateral side portions of the dome, and thence further rearwardly and downwardly to a rear portion of the dome wherein the rim is at its lowest point. A brim extends forwardly from the lower rim at the forward portion of the dome. A protective inner helmet liner is mounted within the dome portion of the helmet shell. The helmet liner has an upper dome-shaped portion that nests within the helmet shell, and a lower rim located substantially proximal to and extending substantially parallel with the helmet shell lower rim. A first vent aperture is formed in the helmet shell at a central top portion of the helmet shell dome. A second vent aperture is formed in the helmet liner at a central top portion thereof which is adjacent to the first vent aperture. A venting device is mounted to cover the first vent aperture on the helmet shell and has a raised button-shaped appearance. The helmet shell dome, the brim and the venting device are covered with velvet or a velvet-like decorative material, and a decorative satin-like covering is mounted to the inside of the helmet liner. A chin strap harness is mounted on the helmet adjacent the rim portions of the helmet shell and helmet liner.
