This message is from: Mark and Ann Restad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, I want to respond to Pat Wolf and others comments on helmets, not because I am so experienced in horses, but in medicine. Head injuries are fairly common, and as Pat said, can mean anything from killing you, causing a "vegetable" situation, prolonged hospitalization, head aches, and a lot of other, more subtle symptoms such a a person's personality changing, usually towards irritability- not nicer! People often say, "well if i am going to go, I am going to go" or such comments, but the thing we should really consider is living on, but having your life changed forever by one of these conditions. Enough from me. Happy horsing!
Ann Restad, PA-C
