Charles Owen helmets recalled
Charles Owen has recalled its Limited Edition 4Star Cross Country Helmet with Chrome Buckle.
The Wrexham based manufacturer says the move is due to the potential for extreme corrosion of the chrome buckle, which may result in buckle failure.
“This recall impacts this model in sizes 54 (0½), 55 (1) and 56 (1½),” said a spokesman for Charles Owen.
“Information regarding the helmet model can be found on the product satin, guarantee card or user instructions.”
Consumers are advised to cease use of the affected helmets immediately, and are invited to contact either the shop they purchased the helmet from or Charles Owen directly in order to receive a replacement or full refund.

Experience Bramham’s excitement
As Teresa May prepares her ‘EXIT’ plans for Britain leaving the European Union, the Bramham team have seven ‘E’ words of their own at the forefront of plans for the Equi-Trek Bramham International Horse Trials (8 – 11 June 2017).
1) Eventing – With over £18,500 in prize money, the event’s showcase is the Equi-Trek CCI*** and British Olympians William Fox-Pitt, and Nicola Wilson are usual competitors. The Bishop Burton College Under 25 CCI3* is the place to spot the stars of the future while the British Equestrian Trade Association CIC3*, the sport’s shorter version, is perfect for fine tuning experienced horses or giving up and coming equines an all-important test to move up the ranks.
2) Extras – Top flight showjumping includes qualifiers for the Wetherby Skips Grand Prix, Sunday’s curtain closer at HOYS. Future stars are on show in the Dubarry Burghley Young
Equine Page 8
Event Horse qualifiers for four and five year olds as well as the Event Horse Breeding classes for youngsters (foal to three years). There’s Hunter Showing too plus local Pony Clubs will be battling it out in showjumping and mounted games over the weekend.
3) Exercise – a trip to Bramham wouldn’t be complete without a walk around Ian Stark’s stunning cross country courses. There’s been some major investment at the main water fence with hundreds of tonnes of earth moved to create a new ‘lake’.
4) Entertainment – Make a tradestand stop at our 2017 nominated charity, Leeds-based Hope Pastures, which helps rescue, rehabilitate and re-home horses and donkeys. Challenges for all ages await in the form of quad bikes, Segways, Zorb Balls and a bungee trampoline.
5) Eating – There’s a range of over 20 fast food outlets with a huge variety or pay a visit to the
Food Hall to sample a selection of the wares on offer – and purchase!
6) Experience – Bramham is an experience. Tickets are on sale and can be bought at a discount up until 4 June. An advanced car pass at £2 gives access on all four days – if you wait to buy ‘on the gate’, it’s £5 per day. Hurry if you want a camping or caravan package though, they’re proving as popular as ever.
7) Excitement – had to save this until last! The elegance of dressage, the thrills (and sometimes spills) of cross country, tense show jumping, nail biting competition, awesome adventure in the ‘Zone’ and the emotion of it all combine to give you a trip to remember.
Adult entry starts from £11 and children 12 and under go free with a paying adult. Tickets can be booked securely on-line anytime until 4 June.
