This is a hard one to post but i feel important, I've made one of the biggest decisions of my career.
For the last 10 years, my life has revolved around A2B, also known as The Safety Centre.

Many of you have watched my girls grow up, supported the business and become true friends and safety ambassadors along the way. For that, I'll always be incredibly grateful.

The equestrian retail world has changed, but one thing never has... my belief that safety should always come before sales.
I've always tried to educate before I sell, and if I didn't believe in a product, I couldn't recommend it.

Sadly, I've reached the point where I can no longer sell products that don't align with my own values or what I believe riders deserve. My world has changed too. My girls need their mum to be clear and present, and I've realised it's time to focus on a new chapter in both my career and my life instead of always having to plan ahead never knowing what sales will walk through the door.

So, I'm stepping away from retail and returning to Project Management in a new sector, very excited about this!
You'll notice these pages becoming a little quieter over the coming weeks as I take a step back from social media, in time they may disappear, i actually look forward to that day 😌.

This isn't me walking away from rider safety. I'll continue to champion for greater testing transparency and exceeding standards because these things matter to me.
Where possible, iI will continue to personally promote and fit brands that focus more on safety than £££.
More on that in time πŸ‘€, something a little bit exciting does lie ahead πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ΄πŸΉ.

Thank you to every customer, every family and every person who has supported A2B over the last decade. You've trusted me with something incredibly important, and that's never been something I've taken for granted.

For the next little while Safety fittings are strictly by appointment via DM so please get in touch if you want to book in. Headquarters remain at Spearfield stud! And lots of clearance items are on or going on the A2B facebook bargains group!

From the bottom of my heart... thank you. ❀️

Controversial post......it needs to be said. πŸ™ˆ

The launch of yet another 'riding hat' that doesn't even test to PAS015, I personally find the future or rider safety incredibly disheartening.

What happened to striving to exceed standards and create innovative products that genuinely help reduce serious injury, not just creating something matchy matchy with a fashionable name attached to it?

Seeing riders pay premium prices for European designer names and not actually receive any additional safety benefits in return. In some cases, arguably less.
Now we are flooded with Chinese manufactured hats that cost around Β£20 to Β£30 to make. The focus being matchy matchy and interchangeable parts.

Recently, there have also been a lot of missing brands in stores across the country because of issues with batch testing and certification for UK sale. I cannot name brands publicly, but many of you would be genuinely shocked at the list.πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ

The safety chart below says a lot. Look at the difference in what the standards are actually testing for. Crush resistance, rotational impact, pe*******on and extended head coverage all matter, yet not every standard covers them.
Personally, I would like to think brands would aim to exceed standards, not simply meet the minimum requirement for sale.

With the influence some companies have, there is a real opportunity to push rider safety forwards instead of simply cashing in on trends.

Especially now with the loss of Charles Owen manufacturing in the UK, there is a massive opportunity for genuinely innovative design.

The only company to be completely transparent and share their test results is ARRO. The first helmet in the world to incorporate Snell and MIPs with a carbon fibre shell. I wish more would do the same with their tear data and introduce a safety rating system on styles so the consumer can see what they are getting.

If you are in the market for a new riding hat, keep your eyes open. Learn the standards. Ask questions. Never be afraid to ask: β€œHow will this helmet protect me?” and you can ask to see staff training certificates....🫑
