I wish helmets were not so expensive to buy.

I always wear a helmet. Never ridden without one. my mom had an accident about 2 years ago, she fell off her icelandic when he took off, and She was unconsious for 2-4 minutes. when she woke up, she had no idea where she was, who was president or what year it was. we called an ambulance and she stayed in the hospital for 3 days becayse she was bleeding inside her brain. if it wasnt for her helmet, she wouldnt be alive today.

Eventually insurance policies at all horse shows will require everyone to wear a certified helmet.

Good news! Too many of us are concerned with looking nice and not safety. I’m really glad about this.

This is great news! Kudos to the USEF for taking safety seriously. I’m also glad Charles Owen is stopping production of hunt caps. I think helmets actually look better than hunt caps, anyways.
