Re: [RC] Helmet ? - Merri Melde

Robert and Melissa Ribley made the cover of Endurance News one month one year because they were both wearing helmets! (they won't publish a cover photo of a rider without a helmet, or without a properly FITTING helmet). So Robert has been seen wearing one, at least once : )

Here's one of those western hat/helmets.

looks excellent on the young man, don't you think?

Photo 128 - Crockett Dumas, in my mind, has always felt like he is Butch Cassidy reincarnated.
Photo 130 - Matt Madeiros, I think; at least his son is protected.
Photo 156 - I don't think anyone could ever get Robert Ribley into a helmet, but I could be wrong.? Never seen him in one. Unless his western hat has a helmet inside of it.? There were some made, many years ago.? Maybe the company went out of business due to lack of interest in their product.

I had a hard time getting my husband into a helmet for the reasons that some other guys?have - it just doesn't suit their image.?Image be darned, I'd rather have the protection than a cracked skull.? Lud sustained a nasty concussion after a horse fell out from under him, at a flat-footed walk, on a flat trail.? He hit the back of his head on an exposed tree root.?He always wears a helmet now, and it looks stunning on him.
?
I wear one whenever I ride, and I forget I have it on.? I walk into the house to fix dinner and have to remember to take it off.

The macho image of the wild west cowboy is alive and well?
