This message is from: Debby Stai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There was a story/article written by a mom who's young daughter was killed at one of the saddle seat shows. Was very sad, they sold all of their horses, even though they'd always been a part of their lives. This child was on a very trustworthy, dependable horse but he spooked at something and flipped over. Its not worth it. The mom was hoping this story would encourage the wearing of helmets. I was already convinced years ago. I even drive a small pony and where my helmet. I've fallen from a horse that was just walking and tripped, I always land on either my head or my butt. Not much I can do about the butt I guess but the helmets are a blessing. I would vote "for" a mandantory rule that all children wear helmets, I think its a good thing, like seat belts, they save lives. Debby
