I agree that the tradition of the top hat is a classy one, dressage at that level wouldn’t be the same without the tradition… however there is absolutely zero excuse for a helmet not to be worn during training. ever. no matter who you are.

Those who compete in Saddle Seat also wear a traditional derby; and after 5pm might be attired in top hat, tails, etc. These fashions don’t provide any safety at all. Can their be protection
and still stay with tradition?

I believe that the tradition of wearing the top hat during competiton in dressage should be upheld but with todays technology there has to be a way of making them a “safety helmet” at the same time. Dressage is very traditional in it’s looks, ie. tail coat, top hat ect. but that should not compromise rider safety. What should come first is rider and horse safety, then looks!
