'Owen's helmets are obviously the finest and safest helmet on the market bar none. Their quality is steeped in tradition' Barry Wm Hess PhD.

'I would like to complement you about your GR8 horse back riding helmet. It's really comfortable, and I really enjoy it. I like it because it does not get as dirty as my old one had velvet and this one is easier to clean. I also like the design on the back of it, better than a bow.' Taylor Glass

'I had an unfortunate fence while hunting in Reno, Nevada USA. The crash resulted in hospitalisation for me, but my helmet, a Charles Owen John Whitaker saved my skull...Thank you Charles Owen.' Ruth Wheeler

'Thank you for the opportunity to use your helmets, body protectors and tall boots again this past year. I firmly believe you have the best products on the market with a great blend of safety and style. It is a pleasure to be associated with these products and your company' Phillip Dutton, USA Event Rider.

'I am a Showjumper in California USA, who has a John Whitaker Hat that I absolutley love... Thanks for producing such a wonderful helmet; it turned what could have been an absolute disaster in to just a mild concussion.'

'Our 17 year old daughter was riding in a small horseshow on April 24th. The show was held inside. The horse she was riding has little show experience so she was being ridden over low fences to see how she would do. The large doors at the back of the arena were open so the horses could enter and exit the ring. On their last time round, as she came over a fence by the open doors, her horse decided to go through the doors. there was no room for both horse and rider to get through the gap so our daughter was slammed in to the wall face first. The imapact combined with her horse running from under her, caused her to twist and land backwards. Everyone who had witnessed the accident thought she would havr suffered very serious facial injuries to her face, head and possibly a broken neck. We were amazed when she got to her knees and appeared to be fine. A doctors exam diagnosed her with slight concussion abd a small sprain to muscle around her collar bone. We wanted to express our thanks to you for manufacturing a helmet that could with stand such an impact. It saved her from very seroius injury!'

'I simply adore all of your helmets. They are very classy, safe and just all round amazing hats. They add beauty to otherwise "bubble jet" look of other approved helmets. Thank You Charles Owen.'

'Its a great looking helmet, its good quality, and its got great protection, theres nothing that could beat it.' (Quote about the J3 Jockey Skull)

'I received my body protector this morning and it looks and feels fantastic - a lot more comfortable than my existing one! I intend to use it this weekend at Berrington JRN.'

'Ohhh - I love this hat! When I got it out of the box the first thing I noticed was the quality of finish and the lovely rich colour and texture of the velvet. This hat seems to strike a good balance between affording protection without making the riders head appear absolutley huge, so a great dual purpose option for someone wanting to compete in jumping and dressage and the odd showing class too. The Showjumper XP fitted me snugly without giving me a headache and I like the absorbant cotton toweling band inside.' Barbara Gadd, Central Horse News Magazine.'

'This is without a doubt the most comfortable and lightest hat I have ever ridden in. It oozes quality and its padded suede harness lies comfortably and supportivly against the skin.' The GR8 hat tried and tested by Heather Dodd, Central Horse News Magazine.

'I have worn and Owen's helmet for many years. I am now in the market for a new one and live in New York City. What store in NYC are your helmets sold in? Thanks so much and love your products. 3rd October 2005'

'I have been riding for 20 since the age of six I have never thankfully been involved in any serious accidents, that was until last Sunday, 24th September. I was involved in a freak accidednt on a donation ride. The horse I was riding stumbled through some sticky ground causing him to fall and throwing me over the front. Witnesses state that the horse then used my head as a stepping stones to stand back up. After being airlifted to hospital, I luckily only sustainted 2 Black eyes, broken nose, whiplash and neck injuries, a sprained wrist and bruised ribs. Thankfully I had recently purchased a new Charles Owen Adventura skull cap. There is extensive damage to this cap as you can imagine and I have been told by the doctor that I was lucky to be alive and that the skull cap saved my life. I am now obviously going to buy a new skull cap for when I get back in the saddle. I will definately be buying another Charles Owen Skull cap and will be recommending Charles Owen to family and friends.'
