British Eventing is delighted to announce that Charles Owen will continue as our Official Safety Partner for a further two years.
A globally respected manufacturer of equestrian safety equipment, Charles Owen has been setting the standard in rider protection for over 110 years. With a legacy rooted in innovation and craftsmanship, the company remains at the forefront of safety, ensuring that riders of all disciplines can perform with confidence and style.
Pioneering safety since its involvement in the first equestrian helmet safety standard, Charles Owen continues saving lives through ongoing research. Their refusal to compromise on safety is pivotal to the design and manufacture of all Charles Owen helmets and this focus has been further expanded to include a range of body protectors. This has earned the brand the continued patronage of the Royal Household, with the Royal Warrant recently granted by His Majesty King Charles III as a protective headgear supplier to the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace.
From the elite competitor to the passionate amateur, Charles Owen helmets are designed to not only offer unparalleled safety but also provide riders with elegance, comfort, and performance. Every helmet blends cutting-edge protection with contemporary style, ensuring that riders feel both secure and sophisticated in the saddle.
Rosie Williams, Chief Executive of British Eventing, said: “We’re delighted to be aligned with such a long-standing and highly respected brand whose commitment to safety with their ongoing research and development strategy, matches our own. Charles Owen have been keeping our riders safe for decades and we look forward to continuing our relationship for the benefit of our members and riders who compete in our sport.”
Jade Faulkner, Head of Product and Brand Development at Charles Owen, added:
“At Charles Owen, safety is not just a commitment—it’s a legacy. We are proud to continue our partnership with British Eventing, reinforcing our shared dedication to the protection and performance of riders at all levels. As we move forward, we remain steadfast in blending cutting-edge safety with timeless craftsmanship, ensuring riders can compete with confidence and style. Honouring the past, inspiring the future, we are committed to evolving equestrian safety and empowering athletes to reach new heights.”
All Charles Owen’s jockey skull caps continue to meet British Eventing standards, alongside its Kontor body protector, which adheres to the BETA 2018 certification.
