RE: [RC] helmet vents and sticks- Dawn - Chastain, Shannon L.

I had a friend get a nasty cut when a stick got into her helmet. The
ride vet stapled it for her. Then the next week when she went to her
Doctor to take the staple out he couldn't the did not have the "correct"
tool to take them out she had to go to her local vet.

Dawn,

I am a religious helmet wearer (Troxel- oval head) but darn it, just
last weekend if I didn't tweak my neck because a branch stick caught in
my helmet vent.  At one ride I actually thought I was going to be hung
off the tree as I trotted under a tree branch.  Ducked my head to go
under and a thick stick caught my vent, If I hadn't been able to stop my
horse quickly it would have pulled my off the horse.  As it was I had to
unhook my
helmet.   Ok maybe  something like that would only  happen to me.......
Thanks,
Sheila



The wind flew.  God told to wind to condense itself and out of the
flurry came the horse.  But with the spark of spirit the horse flew by
the wind itself.
