RE: [RC] [RC] Was question for legal eagles--now helmet story - heidi

so far, only one person has said she won't come because of the helmet rule. 
Others have told me they are glad I said this because now they will be more 
aware of wearing helmets when they ride in general! 


This past season, I've sponsored a new-to-the-sport junior rider.  She
had never worn a helmet before competing in our sport, and had to buy
one so she could do so.  I got her into the habit of wearing it on
conditioning rides as well.

And guess what--the other day she came off of her horse (not riding with
me), and her head struck a rock--she walked away from the accident with
a sprained wrist, a broken helmet, and an intact brain and skull. 
Hallelujah!

She expresses her thanks to a sport that made her wear a helmet and got
her into the habit...

Heidi
