I’ve never been the type to wear a helmet while riding. Honestly, I didn’t think it would make a difference—until it did.
Not long ago, I decided to try out a new helmet I bought from Troxel while out mustering. One moment I was on horseback working with the cattle—and the next, I remember waking up in the hospital, surrounded by doctors asking me questions: my name, where I work, what day it was. I couldn’t remember a thing.
The first clear image I had was my mum holding my riding helmet. That’s when I realized I must’ve had an accident. The doctors told me that if I hadn’t been wearing that helmet, I might not have made it. It took the brunt of the impact—something my head alone couldn’t have withstood.
I’m still recovering, but I was sent home from the hospital today. Hopefully, it’s smooth sailing from here. I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to Troxel. Your helmet protected me from what could’ve been a life-ending accident.
Thank you for keeping me safe.
