About Caps & Hats

Protecting your head from the harsh Australian sun is essential for any rider, and our caps and hats collection has you covered — literally. We stock a wide range of equestrian baseball caps, bucket hats, visors, beanies and headbands designed for life in and around the saddle. Whether you're competing at a summer show, mucking out on a frosty morning, or watching from the sidelines, you'll find headwear that's both practical and stylish.

Australia has one of the highest UV indexes in the world, making sun protection a non-negotiable for riders who spend hours outdoors. Our caps feature wide brims, UPF-rated fabrics and sweat-wicking headbands to keep you cool and protected. For winter, our beanies and ear warmers offer cosy warmth without bulk, perfect for those early morning feeds and chilly competition days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these caps suitable for riding in?

While our caps and hats are primarily designed for yard wear, spectating and casual use, some riders do wear low-profile caps under their helmets for sun protection. Always ensure your helmet fits correctly with any additional headwear, and never replace your safety helmet with a cap while riding.

Do you offer caps with UV protection?

Yes, many of our caps and bucket hats feature UPF-rated fabrics that provide excellent sun protection. Wide-brim styles offer additional coverage for your face, ears and neck — ideal for Australian conditions where UV levels are consistently high.

What sizes are available?

Most of our caps feature adjustable straps — snapback, velcro or buckle closures — making them one-size-fits-most. Beanies are typically made from stretchy knit fabrics that accommodate a range of head sizes comfortably.

Are there options for winter weather?

Absolutely. Our winter range includes fleece-lined beanies, ear warmers and knitted headbands that provide warmth without bulk. These are perfect for early morning stable chores and cold competition days during the Australian winter.

Can I wash my equestrian cap?

Most caps can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle in cool water. Reshape and air dry to maintain the cap's structure. Check the care label on your specific item for detailed washing instructions.

Do you stock children's caps and hats?

Yes, our range includes sizes suitable for children and young riders. Adjustable closures make many of our caps versatile enough to fit smaller heads, and we stock kid-friendly designs that young equestrians will love.
