Why Do You Ride with Troxel?

In the summer of 2007, I was a green rider on a friend's off the track TB. She was a very quiet mare and was as close to bombproof as a TB can get, really. I had ridden her several times before in the arena. We were schooling at a trot when a loose horse got in the arena and...

I bought one of the Troxel Legacy helmets the summer of 2015 and I am in my third year of law school at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, BC Canada. I was wearing the helmet in October when training a young horse. She bucked from a halt, I came off and when she kicked out she connected with the left side...

I have been riding for 16 years and have never been on a horse without a Troxel helmet protecting me. There is something about the classic look, the fit and the dependability of a brand you have been with for that long. Even schooling jumps at low levels, freak accidents can happen. I rode a horse for his owners and we...

My husband and I, ages 69 and 62, always wear our helmets, every ride. We believe we used up all of our good luck as youngsters! We had had a lovely little ride on the trails near the stable where we board our horses, and I'd gone around a curve on the road toward the barn. My husband's horse wanted...

I was leasing a Morgan mare named Louie in Jacksonport, Wisconsin in September 2006 when something happened & I was seen hanging from her neck still in the saddle then I dropped to the ground. I think maybe she tried to wipe me off on a gate. I suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury aka TBI. Being detrimentally independent led me...

Last April I was schooling my 7 year old cob at home one evening. He is normally no trouble to school and I almost didn't put my hat on, but then I changed my mind because I always wear a hat so there was no good reason not to this time and I'm so glad I did because it saved...

When I started riding horses at age six, my grandma, who grew up riding her horse bareback through her family's farm, thought the idea of wearing a helmet ridiculous. However my mother, who was and is terrified of horses wouldnt let me ride withought one. Seven years later, with a more passonate love for horses and a unatural lack of...

A year and a half ago I was riding in our arena and my horse spooked when she stepped in a puddle. . . at a walk . . . but jumped so far sideways that my body got thrown to the left while she went to the right. My foot got caught in iron and so I hit the ground in a V. That threw...

Hi Troxel – just wanted to say thanks for saving my wife’s skull from serious injury. Last Wednesday my wife and daughter went for a short trail ride and a deer spooked the horses. The horses did a 180 and headed for the barn. Norah came off and landed on her head and back. As you can...

On the evening of August 1st I went out to take my paint gelding, Thunder for a quick ride to celebrate buying my new truck! I saddled him up, put on my Troxel Rebel Rocker helmet and started out towards the trail. I remember walking up the hill in the hayfield thinking how beautiful the evening was on the farm...

When my daughter first started riding at the age of four, she was very small. Although the horse she was grooming was known to be a quiet, senior horse, when she walked behind him (big mistake) to groom his tail he kicked her in the head. THANKFULLY I had the presence of mind (being a horse person myself) to put her...

I was on a trail ride with some students at the riding school where I boarded my horse. They needed someone to bring up the rear, and since I'm an avid trail rider, I said I'd go. We were having a great time! The horses were behaving just perfectly, the weather was beautiful, I was having the time o...
