Helmets

I'm actually going to buy one on my dads next paycheck. I have to wear them in lessons but I had a close encounter and decided it was way too close so am going to start wearing one.

Good for you! Did you see that western style one someone posted in the other helmet thread? It wasn't cowboy looking-ish, but like a regular schooling helmet with a brownish tint and small conchos... very nice... and one sale at SLT!

I always wear my helmet but when the summer heat gets too hot I wont wear it.

I have NEVER worn a helmet,not once when I ride. I don't plan to anytime soon either,but when I go to college and take classes involving horses it will be mandatory. I know I should and sometimes I almost order one from a catalog,then I change my mind. lol

Um, when I ride english I do wear a helment (when jumping).
Never wear one for western though.

I always where one, simply because whenever I think of all the times I've fallen off and to do that without a helmet...??!!! Nope I where it every time!!!

My mum makes me where a helmet. No helmet no horse.

When I get older I'll probubly take it off if its a hot day and im doing dressage.
