Re: [RC] Helmets . . . Again - Barbara Moulton


I was a ride anything with four legs bareback and
bounce when it didn't go well and get back on as a
kid.  I always wear a helmet now having broken one
into four pieces when I was training Joy in 2000- no
didn't get thrown from her it was the big QH/draft
cross I jumped on bareback to ride out into the big
ranch pasture to catch Joy.  A little trip and I
slammed head first so fast I didn't know what
happened.  A head injury can be a sudden death but
also can be the first day of the rest of your brain
damaged life.  When I had my cancer surgery the
hospital kept shoving "advanced directives" at me to
sign so I wouldn't "suffer" any indignitites if things
went south.( as was expected at the time)  As a sped
teacher I have strong feelings about dictating to God
what kind of life I will accept for myself.  My
students never had a choice about living with their
various disabilties BUT.. I don't think I have any
business taking chances with the good fortune of my
health and usually average intellect. 
Barbara, Joy ( hey mom I know you are just here to
love on me when the helmet stays in the tack room)
