In August my horse tripped and fell. The only reason I am alive today is because I had on a helmet, which cracked during impact. I was still hospitalized in ICU for 7 days. It’s no joke...wearing a helmet saves lives....Troxel saved mine!!!

Hello. I had a riding accident on May 7, 2018. A horse I had put 6 weeks of riding on bucked me off. Out of the blue. I would never have expected this. My helmet saved my head. I have no doubt it saved my life, and at the very minimum, saved the QUALITY of my...

I just replaced my first Troxel because of a close call! Thank goodness my head did NOT hit the ground. But I sure did sustain some bruising and swelling in my hands and fingers.

Never even got on. . . I was mounting my 21 year old thoroughbred whom I have owned for 18 years. Normally he is rock solid for mounting but today something spooked him and he bolted with me half on. I was thrown backward landing on my head and back. Other then numerous bruises, scrapes, and a slight headache I got up...

HiIn June 2008, I met this girl who wanted help with her 5 year old quarter horse. I was evaluating him for her. She was in the middle of the arena as I walked and talked around her. I asked if he could canter, she said yes. I asked him a few time to canter. He finally started but than...
