So with the transition from top hats to helmets in the dressage ring, many dressageaholics have a dilemma on their hands. What the heck do you do with your top hat? Well I’ve come up with some suggestions for you:

1. You can become a magician

This is a perfect supplement to your riding, as the extra cash from your magic shows can help pay for your new blinged out helmet and matching show apparel!

2. Inspire some new home décor

You can repurpose your top hat into a light or wall fixture for your home. It will be an amazing ice breaker when guests come over. Once day your children may even ask… “what is that?” just like a child asked me what a phone booth last week.
