Thank you Kirt. I lost a sale on a barrel horse of my daughter's once because the lady would not wear a helmet on my property to try him out. Oh,well. My land, my rules. I have a good friend in L.A. that has a metal plate in her head, and, at 30 years old, will never taste or smell anything again.....she wears a helmet now.
