Re: [RC] Helmets in Other Disiplines - merryben My friend helps gather cattle with her TWH and wears a helmet. Her friend also helps and rides a NSH stallion. The cowboys used to laugh but not anymore. mb -----Original Message----- From: BeautiControl <BCsiren@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thu, 23 Feb 2006 13:34:32 -0500 Subject: [RC] Helmets in Other Disiplines If I am not mistaken, there is a professional barrel racer who wears and is sponsored by Troxel. I was told that she is a spokesperson in a sport that most do not wear helmets.
I've also seen some HS rodeo bull riders and bare-back and saddle bronc riders who do as well. I guess their momma's said "Oh yes you will"!
I remember when my mother's right arm was my seat-belt. Glad we have been all made aware...and for that fatalities have decreased dramatically.
I am a convert...use to ride with cowboy's. Now my whole family are proud wears of the Tipperaries.
