As promised…
Added 2023-09-25 15:00:43 +0000 UTCHere are some pics of the helmet I was wearing when I got bucked off. This is a different helmet (but the same make and model) as the one I was wearing back in March when that accident happened. That helmet got torn up and couldn’t be worn anymore (visor ripped off, back piece broken). But it did it’s job! Thankfully, this helmet survived, though if you look closely, you can see how bad the left side got scuffed up.
Of course, no helmet is guaranteed to completely protect you during an accident or prevent a concussion, but I sure am glad I was wearing mine, because my injuries would’ve been so much worse both times if I hadn’t been. Lots of riders don’t wear helmets, and that’s their decision to make, but I can’t recommend wearing one highly enough. Because when you hit the dirt, it sure is good to have that padding between your head and the ground.

Heads are one to a customer. Wise choice.

"The Horse Whisperer" with Robert Redford & Scarlett Johansson, Sam Neill ,Chris Cooper, Kristin Scott Thomas and many more you might know?In the future might you consider reacting to this movie, your knowledge of horses would bring a unique perspective to this well written&well acted film.I realize that you might not want to revisit this topic for some time. I have just started watching your reactions and have enjoyed them very much, heal well young lady, Tom from Texas.
