My comment to my BO, who refuses to ride with a helmet, is......why do you make your daughter?? How is her head more of a priority than yours?? What would she do without you??? Or what would your mom say??#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#I was at the barn last night riding my horse, and my BO's sister was riding, (she also never wears a helmet) and her mom was there watching, I was SOOO tempted to say something to the mother....but I didn't!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#But I agree....xena, you'll figure it out! When I was your age, and had my little arab, I trusted him with my life, (as did many other people) and I stopped wearing a helmet when I was riding indoors, and not jumping. Needless to say after my big fall off a baby I was training (yes I was wearing a helmet then) I decided that it wasn't worth it. Even though I didn't damage my head in any way shape or form, it was my back, I still decided that it could just have easily have been my head! Now you won't catch me without a helmet, no matter who I'm riding! #ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl##ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#FONT face=Tahoma color=#c080ff size=4#ed_cl#Do you have a coach xena?? When I wanted a lesson from my coach, her rule was that she wouldn't teach me (or anyone else) unless I put my helmet on! And I even got grief for riding with any of her students, without a helmet, as I was setting a bad example. I look back on that, and as much as I fought it, and complained about that rule, I think that just goes to show that I have a great coach who really does care!#ed_op#/FONT#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#Lix wrote:#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I think it should be about choice to a certain extent. No matter how much we want to, we can't change some people's ways but that's their own decision and their own risk.
