This message is from: Sarah Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> As a kid I used to find all kinds of reasons not to wear a helmet. I found some pictures of me jumping a 4 foot jump helmet less. (Hid that one from the kids!) I would wear a helmet in a show, or on a "risky" horse. One day I tried to figure out when the current greenie I was riding was no longer a "risky" horse, and I couldn't explain it either to me or the children. I have ridden with a helmet every time since, and so does any body who rides on my property or on my horse. My helmet has allowed me to survive a direct impact on asphalt pavement, and a few other direct hits to my head - including one completely inexplicable buck from a usually very mellow Fjord. So much easier to replace a helmet than a brain! Sarah (older, wiser , and most of my brain still functioning in Jamul)
