I don't understand why people would take the added risk of not wearing
 a helmet, horses are dangerous enough as it is.When i say this  some
 people i know i get very stupid replies like "my horse doesn't spook", I
 just don't get it. I take people riding quit frequently on my horses
 and my rule is no helmet no riding my horse, I don't want their stupidity
 on my conscience if they get hurt,also on another note about this.... We have a local
 horse association that puts on shows and has the past year or two
 started putting on CTR, They have on ALL their forms for signing up for
 events: all riders under 17 must wear a helmet but, on their fly er for the
 CTR they show pictures of kids  (adults also) walking/trotting threw
 their trails etc and no helmets! just made me mad...

  Great story.  I work at a Trauma I hospital.  9 out of 10 traumas are
 head injuries.  I figure non helmet wearers are just organ donors?.
