It is statistically clear that there are certain inherent dangers associated with horseback riding and being around horses. Those dangers include the risk of suffering serious head injury or death should the rider fall or be thrown from a horse. It is, therefore, the policy of SIDELING HILL ACRES, Ashley Smith, and/or any of its principals and agents, that safety riding helmets will be worn at all times when riders are mounted on a horse.
We mandate that every rider follow the State Helmet Law. The law states that all riders less than the age of 18 must wear a securely fastened ASTM/SEI certified helmet while mounted. It is recommended that riders 18 years of age and older wear a helmet.
