... I had a newish hat (Champion Ventair) on so my head was well protected. There was no reason for the fall, I couldn`t predict it. We just hit a rough piece of ground in the wrong place and fell. This could happen with the most placid of horses.
Is it a Requirement?

...hat and it was the champion ventair riding hat. This hat meets the EN1384 and the PAS 015 standards so this means it is classed as safe and you could wear it at riding schools etc. For £80-100 i wasn't overly impressed as i didnt think it was anything too special and didnt differ from my hat thats 1/2 the price!
