HeLmEtS?!?!?!

I saw a thread similar to this and thought that it would make a cool poll just for fun. So, its all about if you wear a helmet or not. Vote away!

OOOooo, forgot... I am a proud helmet wearer! Every time I ride, gotta have that helmet on.

Wear one every time.

1) It's compularsary where I board, I don't have a choice...
2) Even if it wasn't, I still would. I wouldn't risk going without... my brain is worth more to me than that I know from personal experience that accidents can happen when you least expect them with horses, and if something happens to me... I would prefer to get up wearing a battered helmet than a battered head.

I pretty much always use a helmet for english. Always when riding horses that arent mine. a lot of the time when im riding bareback and usually never for western cuz i typically only ride my horses western. so yea i put ocassionally but i use a helmet more than not cuz i ride english a lot more than western

Talking Yep, Yep

Even tho helmets aren't exactly a fashion statement,
and can truthfully be uncomfortable,
I would rather keep my noggin in one piece.........
