Why Do You Ride with Troxel?

Thank you SO much for creating a safe, reliable, and durable helmet. Well, let me get into what happened to let me say this. . . I was showing at a 4-H horse show and there is a new rule that it is mandatory to wear helmets. Well, the only helmet that I wear is troxel and they have yet again saved my...

I was riding my frisky mare in the indoor arena this morning. I make it a habit to always ride with my helmet. As I was trotting along the rail, I felt a hard whack against the front of my helmet, which nearly knocked me off of my horse. I was dazed for a brief moment, and didn't know what...

I was at riding camp where we ride bareback and was the only one riding a pony while everyone else rode a big Quarter Horse. We began to lope and noticed that he was extremly bouncy. Seconds later I fell off onto my hip and hit my head. I got back on and continued to ride until I fell again...

Four weeks ago, I was working with a client's horse who has a history of bad behavior. Two and a half hours in to a calm and wonderful ride, another horse cut him off and he reared straight up. I thought he was going to come over on top of me. I fell and he stomped me pretty good while...

I have been using a helmet ever since I lived in a gated community in California and one of the trail riders horse spooked and she fell off, horse drug her and did a tap dance on her body but her head was so damaged from hitting the street she died. The equestrian store offered everyone a discount if...

I didn't keep my receipt & cannot participate in helmet replacement program, but I am still to thankful for my Troxel helmets! I often debate whether to wear a helmet. But, I always do, because of the 'Little Voice' in my head that tells me, "WEAR THE HELMET, it is not uncomfortable and you never know. . . ". Yesterday, I took an...

My story sounds a lot like the others. My husband and I had been trail riding for about two hours at our local park. Both my horse and I were very relaxed and I admit I wasn't paying attention. Suddenly my husband's mare shied and took off and my mare did the same. I had been riding with a loose...

Helmet choice is important. Wearing a safety helmet is even MORE important. A barn friend cracked her helmet, simply pulling the stable door closed. The door was stuck, but it slipped suddenly, clipping my friend in the head. Her Troxel helmet cracked, but her head did not. Thanks, Troxel. Use Your Head!

I was 17 years old the year I began working at a horse farm in Ocala, FL training horses. I had grown up around horses and owned horses since I'd been 12, and never owned or wore a helmet. This farm had a policy that any rider under 18 years of age was required to wear one, so in order to...

I've just returned from the hospital where I spent the night under supervision for a severe concussion closed head injury. I don't remember the incident, but I'm told that I'd been riding my Percheron mare in the pasture in a bareback pad and hackamore (normal tack for us) and Dixie and I somehow parted ways. I got her and myself to...

Last week, after a glorious, mellow trail ride, my helmet saved me from serious injury. I had just dismounted, and my 5 year old PMU mare, Eclipse, was tied to the trailer. I was reaching up to remove her bridle, when she suddenly pulled back hard against her lead rope. Suddenly, she reared up and lunged forward, coming down right on...
