I teach riding. NO ONE rides without a helmet at my
barn. All of the parents are really good about getting their kids helmets. But
it burns me up that one mother makes sure her kids have their helmets on to
ride, but they get in the car to go home and don't wear seat belts. The
four-year-old is not in a car seat, either. Well, he sits on the base of it, but
doesn't buckle in. Her reason for not buckling up (she doesn't either) is that
the kids don't like it.
As a medic and a nurse, I almost hate to see them
come. Nice people, but that's two more rides in a car unbuckled than if they
didn't come to ride. And her husband is a doctor. Aaarrgggghhh.

Foxy--I wouldn't mind if they didn't come! They
don't bring treats!
