    [RC] Helmets - Peggy Bergman-Smith


    There are a number of endurance riders here in Bear Valley that have started
    riding in play days put on by a club here. We were amused by the fact that
    you can't ride in their play days unless you have a horn on your saddle, but
    helmets for under 18-year olds are optional. And, even some of the younger
    kids are out there without helmets. We had two youngsters come off last
    Saturday, thank goodness both were wearing helmets.  It's funny to hear the
    parents yelling at their kids to put on their helmets, while they are riding
    in the arena - with big, oil pipe fencing - with just visors or ball caps.
    Their rationale on the horn rule is you just can't stay on unless you have a
    horn to grab. Gee, somehow I ride my fire-breathin', snortin, everythings
    out to get me Arab mare in a Wintec endurance saddle - nothing to grab on to
    in that saddle! My helmet has saved what brains I have left at my age,
    twice!
