What an incredibly special evening at the Celebration of Dressage!

A heartfelt thank you to Dressage South Australia for hosting such a wonderful celebration of our sport. Thank you to Shield Insurance for sponsoring the award, to Kohnke's Own for sponsoring the night and to all of the generous sponsors whose support makes events like this possible.

To everyone who voted for APK Helmets, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your support, encouragement, and belief in our small business mean so much. We are truly honoured and incredibly grateful!

It is a privilege to be part of such a passionate and supportive equestrian community in SA, and we absolutely value and acknowledge how wonderful SA has been in supporting us from the start. We look forward to continuing to support SA wherever we can.

I know Judith will want to say thank you for an unforgettable evening. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to be there to thank everyone personally and to celebrate Jude’s Volunteer of the Year Award and Ruth and Ryan for their nominations and awards.

Huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees, and thank you again to Dressage SA for all your hard work in running this wonderful event!

Antonia Baumgart | eventing rider knows that a good ride starts with a proper helmet fit 🤝🥰

✔️ Straps centered below the ears
✔️ Helmet sitting straight and adjusted properly ✔️Retention system pulled out and adjusted individually ✔️ One fingers above the eyebrow

Have you heard about the New Helmet Safety Standards that are being introduced by EA & FEI?

ALL ABUS Pikeur Helmets meet the current and NEW Standards!

Yellow Tags can be used until 31 Dec 2027 for FEI competitions and until 31 Dec 2028 for EA activities and competitions. After this time, all Helmets MUST have a Green Tag!

If your ABUS Pikeur Helmet currently has a Yellow Tag, please arrange a time with us for it to be replaced with a Green Tag or bring your Helmet along to any trade show or competition we're attending.
