MaggieEquestrians face a significantly higher risk of sun damage due to the very nature of their lifestyle. While hats and long sleeves are sometimes part of equestrian attire, they don’t always provide complete protection, and often, areas like the face, neck, and hands remain consistently exposed. Furthermore, surfaces common in equestrian environments like sand arenas and open fields can reflect sunlight, intensifying UV impacts.
