As to Christopher Reeves accident: The helmet had nothing to do with the accident. other than he would have had a severe concussion along with his broken neck. His hands got tangled in the reins and martingale as his horse was refusing a very small…

I wear a helmet because I feel safer and that helps both me and my horse... I look alot cuter without one though that is for sure...... :) I wish my hair could just blow in the wind.... I hope none of you ever experience a serious injury without or…

My horse reminds me of Kevin Costner. He is darn good lookin, pretty smart to figure things out, knows how to work around situations, and has courage to try something new. Makes me want to watch silverado or open range all over again! Can't get…

I always wear a helmet riding on our Harley, it is Calif. state law, but there are those fighting it. If I am ever so unfortunate to land on the road I want that helmet. As for wearing a helmet every time I ride my horses, well, TBH. I don't.…

I think you will also find if you look at sites for equine accidents/injuries that researchers and doctors and nurses have prettty good material collected over the years to say helmets save more lives than they endanger. I have looked up these…

What you say makes sence. I found all this negative information from a site called cowboy bob-who has all kinds of negative things he says about helmets. I will stay away from that sight. I found this site while looking for horse email cards that…

Hi Chris: I agree with you but I was the one that started the helmet topic. I guess it has been popular. I am a bit behind moving Pekoe in as we lost a trailer connection part and need to replace it to move to Ridgeview tomorrow morning. I have been…

When I was sixteen I was riding an outdoor course and was thrown off and landed on my head - my helmet was flattened, and i had a major concussion - if I hadn't been wearing that helmet it's highly unlikely I would still be riding. As for…

I think wether horses or motorcycles should be up to the rider they are the one risking it. I personally wear one on motorcycle and in speed games on my horse also. And I think if I was to be jumping I would also wear a helmet but I still think…

Debbie Matuszewski replied to Jackie Cochran's discussion 'Am I Just Too Old Fashioned?'
I'm not sure what is exactly meant by play, but in my opinion, I don't think they should be treated like a dog for example, because the horses behavior can be dangerous, given the activity. For example, it is fun to run with your dog, and…

use of safety helmets

I think I am somewhere in the middle of the helmet debate. I have heard of people saved from serious injury, and then I hear about people who have worse injuries(usually back or neck) for wearing them, cuz the helmet I am told stops the rest of your body from bending. I am no expert in any way, but listen to the pros and cons. Back 30 years ago, we never heard of helmets, and, as yet, people in rodeos, timed events, western show classes, even western trainers, don't wear them.(maybe some…See More

TJ has his own small pasture right now, like a few others, and last week he got a new fence buddy next door, a gelding. When I went to get Tj, and he came up to me, he pushed the other horses head away from between the fence railing, cuz he wanted…

Hi- I do the same thing! I wonder too if they can read your mind. I heard stories to make you think they can and do. Then TJ better read mine, and know he better behave at times! Sometimes when I kneel down in his stall, while he is eating his hay,…

A Bit About Me and my Horse(s)
I was about 12 when I got my first horse, an appaloosa mare. Later I bought a 4 1/2 year old quarter horse gelding, which was a great horse, I'll never forget. I enjoyed so much riding horses with my dad. He had an appaloosa leopard stallion, and he also took me to horse shows, riding clinics, etc. We always had a good time. After getting married and having kids, I now finally got another horse, after over 30 years away, never forgetting them. He is also a quarter horse gelding. I thought I would just get on him and take off where I left off. I hadn't thought what 30+ years away would do to me! I'm thankful to have another chance with horses again.
