How it all started
Founded in 2025, The Riding Hat Shop was created to provide equestrians with a dedicated specialist outlet for high-quality rider safety equipment. We recognised the need for a store that combines expert advice with an extensive selection, ensuring every rider finds the perfect safety gear to suit their needs. With a strong commitment to choice, convenience, and next-day delivery, we make it easy for riders to access top-tier helmets, body protectors, air jackets, and more. Our mission is simple—to prioritise rider safety with expert guidance and premium products, so you can ride with confidence.
About the founder
Jade Holly Smith is a highly accomplished equestrian businesswoman with a keen eye for market gaps and a passion for doing things right and doing them efficiently. After spending eight years building a hugely successful business within the equestrian industry, she returned to horse ownership, only to find herself frustrated by the struggle of ‘store hopping’ in search of well-stocked safety equipment store. Jade believes customers should not have to wait and should be able to ‘Order today, Ride tomorrow’. Determined to change this, Jade founded The Riding Hat Shop with a commitment to investing in stock, ensuring riders can find exactly what they need, when they need it.
With a strong focus on efficiency and next-day delivery, she is dedicated to making rider safety more accessible than ever.
