Re: [RC] cover photo - mjwest02

I don't think there are RULES that require helmets (as in some states for motorcycles) however, I think a good dose of common sense does wonders.  It is YOUR brain and your family that will have to look after you if you have a head trauma accident. 
 
It is MY choice to wear one - as is yours for not.
 
Happy SAFE riding.

==========================================

I enjoyed the cover photo on the Feb. issue of the Endurance News. I have ridden 
horses all my life as I was born and raised on a working cattle ranch. It is 
such a relief to actually see someone without a helmet. You can see a face that 
goes with that body and voice. By Golly, not everyone does look alike. My 
goodness, the girl was just standing close to her horse. I rode with a friend of 
mine last month and she always wears her helmet, but for some reason she left it 
at the trailer. She said it felt so good to feel the wind in her hair. I never 
thought about it much because that is something that I live with everyday and I 
love the wind in my hair. Those that have such a fear of the horse should maybe 
grab onto another activity. Quite frankly, you'll only see me bare-headed,with a 
ball cap or a regular hat of some kind. That's one of the reasons why I ride 
endurance. I want to be left alone to ride as I will and please don't even make 
the attempt to tell me what to wear to include the helmet. I have seen my share 
of injuries over the years and most were to other body parts, not the head. 
Maybe we should wear full body armor. Now lets hear it.
