Dover Saddlery®, the leading omni-channel retailer of equestrian products, is pleased to announce plans to give away at total of more than $76,000 worth of ASTM/SEI-Approved equestrian helmets in its stores during Safety Awareness Week 2022. One top-brand helmet will be gifted to a store customer each day from September 19 through 26 in each of the Company’s 34 retail store locations across the United States.
Safety Awareness Week, hosted by the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF), aims to educate and remind riders to wear protective, appropriately fitting helmets and, in many cases, protective riding vests. In partnership with USEF and helmet manufacturers, Dover Saddlery will also provide discounts on equestrian helmets to help every rider have an opportunity to upgrade to the latest and greatest riding helmets available.
Riders are encouraged to visit their local Dover Saddlery store and enter to win a free helmet during Safety Awareness Week. They are invited to touch and try various riding helmets and to receive expert helmet fitting assistance from properly trained staff. The daily Helmet Giveaway schedule is:
