I’m doing a presentation on helmet safety next week, if you can think of riders who wore helmets in dressage competition at the Olympics, please add them to this list!
I’ll start:
Charlotte Dujardin…
Jacqueline Brookes - D’Niro - CAN
Ashley Holtzer - Breaking Dawn - CAN
Adrienne Lyle - Wizard - USA
And the current leader, Charlotte DuJardin, UK, Helmet when she rides, Topper for unmounted ceremonies, etc. 
Emma Karneva - Finland
I thought one of the Danes did too, but I can’t find any photos.
And a lot of them, including the big guns (Carl Hester, Steffen Peters, Anky von G) are wearing them on schooling days now:

which, while not perfect, is still a huge step in the right direction and a complete 180 from 4 years ago. In another 5 years, I think helmets and tails will look more normal than top hats.
Gonçalo Carvalho of Portugal was another.
A gret example to up and coming riders. Bravo.
In eventing, Linda Algotsson from Sweden was the first one and also three Brazilian riders wore helmets in the dressage phase.
That Fin dressage rider’s helmet was cool. Had the flag on it and very tasteful.
I got some screen shots from the feed. I’ll post them on my FB and link you later.
Here is the link to the still photos. I got some great shots.
