I haven't had a terrible fall yet, and the horse I ride is usually calm, but things can happen. I fell off a couple months ago, and though I didn't hit my head, I was happy to be wearing one. I won't look down on people for not wearing one, but I support wearing one and recommend it. You never know what will happen, even on the most bombproof of horses.Paolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010335773772355225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-7168982914495808212014-04-22T14:17:55.389-07:002014-04-22T14:17:55.389-07:00Yeah.

I don't jump like you guys, so it's not like I'll ever need one." <br /><br />UGHHHHHHHHHH, YOU IDIOT CHILD!!!!!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308477892024999793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-8569410954552137382014-04-22T12:10:31.212-07:002014-04-22T12:10:31.212-07:00Hah!

Always glad of my helmet, and even more glad that I figured out NOT to wear the expensive helmet when trying new things. Better to replace a $40 schooling helmet than a $250 show helmet!Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01428539179552096078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1600848821664468225.post-466124514926812972014-04-22T10:45:48.065-07:002014-04-22T10:45:48.065-07:00I'm all about helmets.I'm all about helmets.L.Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052638724440787772noreply@blogger.com
