Ive got a Puffa fleece type trapper hat that I live in. Pull the ears up and fasten on top when its too warm and when its fresh pull the ears down and fasten under the chin. I also have a Sealskinz hat that I wear when the weather in really vile, it has a little peak, is totally waterproof and hugs round the back of your head its like something you would go mountain climbing in really waterproof and warm but very light and comfortable and the wind does not get it off. Zero points for style with it though.

I have been wearing my Santa Hat with jingling bells on. It stays on, keeps hair dry, and dries out quickly on top of a radiator.....frightens one of the ponies witless, but hey! more carrots for everyone else! (I usually wear a furry trapper hat with ear flaps which has the same qualities as Santa's, but is non-scary.)

Ariat trapper style - waterproof outer, thin fleece liner, ties under the chin. Or coats with hoods. I have had my hair cut really short, and allowed it to be curly - celebrate the curl and be liberated from straightners and blow drys!

Beanie hat or one of those tree hugger looking woolly ones with ear things and tassels hanging down, I put my hair in a high ponytail and then roll it up and put the hat over it.

Leather cowboy style hat with strap done up tight if its windy. Not everyone's taste not particularly mine either , it was souvenir I bought frim a tiny tack shop in a cute irish village, it does the job well but I only have short hair, no buns to deal with etc.

Thanks everyone - that looks nice coblet. I have a leather stockmans hat but as I have a chin length bob the ends get damp and out of control. Cracked it this morning though - old fashioned headscarf under my stockmans hat. The Queen knows a thing or two - who cares if I look like To The Manor Born! And once in the indoor stable block I can remove the hat so as not to get sweaty forehead. Nich - if only it was short and curly. Short means sticky out for mine

Choice is: Nice barbour style hat which keeps my head warm and top of hair dry, but which looks ridiculous or wet head. I'm not frightened of looking ridiculous.....

I can beat you in the ridiculous contest, even better it doesn't look anything like one, so no-one knows who the ridiculous person is. I just shove all my hair in a beanie, wrap a scarf over my chin and then pull up my Barbour hood, draw in the drawstring and tie — dry hair and unrecognisable.

I find it really difficult wearing a hood- restricted head turning and drips in the eyes. I do wear a little scarf round my neck to stop water running down back of neck.
