Sandy Ferrell, Raising awareness about safety in the sport
Why this rider?
Having herself experienced a bad fall, Sandy is raising awareness on safety in the equestrian industry. Despites all the "hunter world codes" she is promoting safety as a priority before appearance.
Why Horse Pilot?
I began wearing a shell safety vest in 2016 after breaking my back in December of 2015.I was approached by Horse Pilot in 2020 about their inflatable vest and was asked if I would be willing to introduce it into the hunter world. I absolutely embraced that opportunity. I was so grateful to upgrade my level of safety.
Sandy's favorite
Horse Pilot has so many amazing products but I have to say my Airbag vest is my favorite.
Any ritual?
If I had a special ritual in my younger years, it has been replaced by commitment to safety.
A fact linked to Horse Pilot
Since switching to Horse Pilot I have experienced a couple of falls and I can honestly say that if it had not been for my vest I don’t know if I would have been ok. Thank you Horse Pilot !
A mantra?
"Stay safe. Without our health, we have nothing."
