When Lud and I rode horse patrol in a state park, we wore helmets.  I think they looked very smart and "in uniform".  You don't see motorcycle policemen riding without helmets.  It's just part of the uniform.  A mounted posse would look different.  I'm in favor of someone creating a western hat with a comfy helmet built in.  Make it a fad, and lots of folks will use it.  Making something a fad is almost a guarantee it will be worn.

A friend of mine volunteers for a big city posse.  They do parades and other events and ride a lot on pavement, but they are considered "out of uniform" if they put on a helmet.  Protecting the public, but not themselves.

"...Is that more a tendency to ride without an helmet on the west coast?..."

 

The macho image of the wild west cowboy is alive and well here in Montana.  Lots of folk make all sorts of excuses, but it always comes down to "I am to macho, someone may think I am a sissy."
