Re: [RC] Helmet ? - stevebMy wife has suggested that I wear a helmet as soon as I get out of bed in the morning :-) I've had two pretty good concussions from horses and in both cases, I wasn't on a horse when it happened (and hadn't been recently). In neither case do I remember what happened, but I think the first time I caught a hind hoof to the chin and in the second case, just got knocked over and hit my head on the ground (maybe also a cow kick leading to it). I also discoverd a hole in the back of my helmet one time and don't know how it got there... I always wear a helmet when I ride and have been glad I did.

Unless his western hat has a helmet inside of it. There were some made, many years ago. Maybe the company went out of business due to lack of interest in their product. I had a hard time getting my husband into a helmet for the reasons that some other guys have - it just doesn't suit their image. Image be darned, I'd rather have the protection than a cracked skull. Lud sustained a nasty concussion after a horse fell out from under him, at a flat-footed walk, on a flat trail. He hit the back of his head on an exposed tree root. He always wears a helmet now, and it looks stunning on him. I wear one whenever I ride, and I forget I have it on. I walk into the house to fix dinner and have to remember to take it off.
