Ovation Deluxe Schooler Helmet

This is my go to helmet for lessons. I've been buying the same helmet over and over again throughout the years since ovation is one of the few brands that caters to oval heads. It's very lightweight and looks good with my riding outfits for lessons. Definitely recommended for oval heads, and it won't break your budget like some other helmets.

Decided to bite the bullet and get my daughter her own riding helmet as opposed to continuing to borrow them! After a bunch of research it was honestly between this brand and the Troxel. My daughter had just participated in a camp where they had Ovation helmets to borrow, so we sorta cheated and I knew a S/M was the correct size! She’s just turned 7, is very small for her age, but her head is “normal” sized lol! Just for reference!It fits like a glove...especially with all the tightening I had to do on the straps and all. The back dial-tightener is great for a snug fit! She has the perfect amount of room to grow into this helmet as well as it fitting perfectly right now too. I’m planning on trying it on my 11 year old to see if I need a larger size for her, or if this one will fit her as well—I predict it will, it just won’t need all the tightening I had to do for my 7 year old.It seems very lightweight but sturdy, enough breathing space in the vents, and it comes with a cute drawstring round bag, perfect for holding a round helmet in!I honestly decided to go with this helmet as there were a couple reviews that it had withstood actual accidents. Either falling or getting kicked by accident. You hardly hear of such accidents, but to hear the helmet actual withstood the accidents was enough for me to feel confident enough in this helmet!My daughters will begin riding lessons tomorrow, so unless I update with issues, you can assume it’s holding up just fine!! Good luck!!

Recommended by stables. I like the price.

My daughter was colt breaking and hit her head off a 6x6 post when a colt threw her . The helmet took on full force impact with only the visor broken off. Thanks to this helmet, my daughter survived this ordeal with minor bruisings.

it came with a little scratch on it and without any protection around it, it also came with a helmet bag which is nice. i haven’t fallen yet but it seems to be holding up well!

I was on a new horse and when I asked for a trot she went into a full on run in the arena and then made a sharp left turn. I got thrown off the horse and hit the horse pen fencing with my head. This helmet didn’t even crack and I was able to walk away without any head trauma. Would highly recommend this helmet

We bought this for our son who just started horseback riding with Special Olympics. After measuring, we first ordered a medium size helmet, but it was too small (measurement was right at the top of the size). We were able to return it for the correct size (large), which fits perfectly.

Fits very well, low profile sharp as far as a helmet goes.Im a petite girl so nice to have something not clunky
