I
never used to wear a helmet either. I've had 3 concussions as a kid and I
swear sometimes (husband too) that I have mild brain damage from them. I
get incredible migranes that may or may not be a result. My daughter rides
with me sometimes and she doesn't go near a horse with out a helmet on and I
always do now.
Last
time I rode in my english saddle on a trail, and the only time so far, I had my
helmet on. First time for that too and I'm glad cause my normally unspooky
Appendix mare did some really spectacular 180's and then bucked and off I
came. I don't even remember it, really, but my friends say I got up, shook
my head and then got back on. All I had was a headache and a reason to buy a new
helmet.
Okay, so I feel guilty.....I never
wear my helmet except at shows.
I don't even jump in
it....

(who promises she'll go home and
root through her trunk until she finds her crasher. And then wear
it. When jumping.)
