Why gatehouse helmets are winning over riders
Whether you're cantering in comfort or galloping to victory, your headgear matters—a lot. That’s where Gatehouse helmets come in. Known for their high safety standards, innovative design, and rider-first comfort, Gatehouse helmets are more than just good looks—they’re a smart choice for riders across disciplines.
In today’s market, equestrian helmets must meet not only stringent safety certifications but also modern rider needs. Gatehouse strikes that balance beautifully. Whether you're prepping for Pony Club, dressage, or cross-country, there's a style and fit waiting for you. And yes, there's even a rose gold one (because safety can sparkle too).
But with so many choices, how do you find the right helmet for you? Let’s trot through some of the best options available at Just Horse Riders, and explore what makes Gatehouse a front-runner in equestrian head protection.
lightweight helmets built for everyday riders
Let’s start with a fan favourite: the Gatehouse Air Rider MKII. This ultra-lightweight riding hat is perfect for daily training sessions or summer hacks, thanks to its excellent ventilation and removable, wicking liner. And unlike your horse’s mood on a windy day, the fit is totally adjustable with a clever dial system.
Kitemarked to PAS 015:2011 and VG1 standards, the Air Rider MKII offers high-end safety for a surprisingly low profile. It even comes with a padded storage bag—a practical touch for those of us who tend to toss helmets into the tack room with a little too much enthusiasm.
elegant performance with modern flair
If you’re after something a little more eye-catching without compromising protection, the Gatehouse Conquest Mark II Rose Gold Limited Edition might just be your match. This helmet delivers both style and substance, making it ideal for those who want to look sharp in the saddle while staying safe.
Suitable for all disciplines except cross-country, the Conquest MKII boasts quick-drying padding, a flexible peak, and excellent airflow. Certified to PAS 015:2011 and VG1, this helmet doesn’t just turn heads—it protects them too.
built for speed and impact – cross-country & racing ready
For serious riders tackling jumps or galloping through open fields, the Gatehouse R20 Jockey Skull is a tough-as-nails companion. This helmet meets the updated EN1384:2023 certification alongside PAS-015:2011, making it a Jockey Club approved choice.
Featuring a sleek matte finish, four air vents, and the classic HS1 leather harness, the R20 is equal parts rugged and breathable. The lace-up fitting and removable liner mean you can dial in your comfort just as precisely as your riding line.
what to consider when buying a gatehouse helmet
safety first—always
All Gatehouse helmets sold at Just Horse Riders comply with the PAS 015:2011 safety standard, often accompanied by VG1 or EN1384 certifications. These ensure that the helmet has been rigorously tested for shock absorption, stability, and penetration resistance.
fit and comfort
Don’t settle for a helmet that feels like a medieval torture device. Gatehouse offers dial-adjustable fittings, lace-up systems, and removable liners that allow for a snug, customized fit. And let's face it—no one enjoys helmet hair, but these designs do what they can to reduce the drama.
style and discipline
From classic skull caps for cross-country riders to stylish velvet trims and rose gold accents for dressage queens (and kings), Gatehouse caters to all disciplines. Make sure you check whether the helmet is suitable for your specific event—cross-country rules can be stricter than a dressage judge on Monday morning.
