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 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

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!!!
