This should be an interesting one to follow. Anyone care to bet that
the rodeo types don't ask/get an exception for their shows?
Seriously, it would make a lot of sense for this bill (AB 309) requiring
headgear to be joined at the hip with the other one (AB 1540) providing
liability protection "when a horse acts like a horse." The latter has
been offered annually in California and has failed each time.
Many other states already have such a law. Duncan Fletcher shared an
excellent link for this info last month. For those interested who may
have missed it:
