My helmet cracked all the way through. My horse, MC, got the best of me yesterday. Another horse decided to tear it up in his...

About 19 years ago, I didn't wear helmets, only when truly needed. One of our foals I was training was noted to buck whenever he wanted. He is one I always wore a helmet with, he threw me in the middle of 30 cows, and a few other times. The main point of this post. One day my dad said...

I took my horse out, she is green broke but a good girl and has never ever tried anything crazy with me. We decided to attempt a trail ride for the 1st time ever, wasn't alone. Something spooked her, probably a wild turkey I'm guessing and she bolted. She usually listens well to a one rein stop, however, this time...

I was running in the youth and my normally sure-footed horse stumbled and fell with me. When he fell, my head hit so hard that it broke the back of my helmet! Definitely the worst experience of my life. very thankful for my helmet ensuring that I didn’t obtain a concussion from this. Katie
