I am all for helmets! I however am “not” for it to be a “Law”!
In my own opinion, I believe that it should be the parent’s “”responsibility”” to have their child wear a helmet. After all, it’s the parent that is the person giving permission for the child to ride.
I have a rule that my child abides by……
No Helmet – No Horse – No excuses!
But there you go…..
That’s “my opinion & my choice”, for myself & my child.
Helmets are a Fantastic Rule…..but “”Not a Law””!
Sorry for the double comment post…..I make a spelling mistake that I needed to correct.

I think it is a wonderful thing! My daughter wears a helmet and was in a pony accident that I believe the helmet saved her life. I think it showed be required at all shows also. My daughter is the only child that wears a helmet at our local barrel racing show and I think that is just terrible. I am all for the law!

I support this bill in full. Children should not be given the option as to whether they wear a helmet or not. they should always have one on.
