One user commented: "Please wear a riding hat! Doesn’t matter how safe you feel or your horse is….young riders look up to your equestrian style and might take the risk themselves."

Another added: "I respect your horsemanship skills but nothing will save you if you don’t wear a hat. Have you seen a TBI? It’s not worth it. Wear a hat please."

A third penned: "Where is your hat? Young riders will see this and think it's ok. Doesn't matter how much you trust your house, anything could happen."

A fourth echoed: "Please wear a hat, you have lots of young people who follow you, your insurance if you have any will not pay out if you are not wearing a hat.

"I like you but please look after yourself, you have kids and a family that love you. I know a girl who fell without a hat in the arena and the horse smashed her skull, she died 29 days later."

Katie previously faced backlash after allowing her two youngest children to sit on a horse without the protective gear.

Fans begged her to keep Bunny and Jett "safe" after she shared a photo of them posing without their riding hats or a saddle to hold on to.

Katie is known for her love of horses and in the past has launched businesses relating to riding - and even had a riding school reality show at one point.

Speaking about her love of horses, the star previously said: "Horses have always been a big part of my life since I was a little girl. 

" I used to spend hours at the yard when I was a teenager grooming, mucking out, learning to ride, trimming, practising my plaiting, hanging out with friends, grooming again and just being around the horses.

"As my life got busier and more hectic, I always made time for the horses, as it’s the only place where I could fully switch off and just enjoy my hobby."

She added: "Horses are my happy place and where I can take time out and calm my soul.  I love their company, feel, presence and even their smell.  There’s nothing quite like the feeling when you turn up to the yard."
