To all my horse friends or my friends with horse friends: 2 weeks ago tomorrow I was cantering my horse when he tripped and we fell. YES, read that again. He tripped and we fell. He didn't rear, buck, get spooked, run away or do anything wrong. It was an accident that could happen to anyone who rides. As a...

Last night, my 9 year old daughter fell from her lesson pony who had spooked. She's ridden this pony for three years and both know each other well, but accidents happen. They were at a canter when he spooked. Her head and back hit directly on a wood fence post before she hit the ground. She couldn't feel or move...

I would like to send my gratitude to the Troxel company for saving my life. I went on a ride yesterday and my horse tripped on a hill and I went crashing down. I do not remember the fall as I was knocked unconscious and fractured my ankle. Thankfully my leader will never let us ride without a...

Yesterday when I was riding at a show, we came in at too much of an angle to the jump, the horse swerved to avoid the standard and I flew right over her head. The first thing to hit the ground was the back of my head. I walked away with only a sore body. The back of my helmet...

Hi, I just want to tell you about my horse accident yesterday. My horse tripped and fell down and landed on me and when she was getting up she ended up kicking me in the head 3 times but thankfully I had a Troxel helmet on and that save my life.

I have to tell you how much we love and believe in Troxel helmets. My daughter was thrown from her horse when she was 7 and landed on her head. The helmet cracked and the back blew out of it but she walked away from the incident with only a 24 hour stay...

I took an unexpected dismount when my bra got caught on the horn of my saddle. There's a reason why I prefer Aussie and English saddles!I knew I hit my head but didn't feel bad and Jay and I finished out the night. Later when we're packing up, I saw that I had cracked the helmet completely through and in three...

My life was saved by a Troxel helmet this past Saturday. I haven’t always worn a helmet riding, but I was riding a horse that hadn’t been rode very often. I decided I better wear a helmet, and I am so happy I did. My horse threw me off right after I mounted her. I hit...

It was the summer of 2009 and I went over my pony's head, tearing the inside of my mouth apart, including several nerves in my face and pushing my jaw back slightly. I had a helmet on and if I hadn't I might not have been so lucky. I remember walking into the barn, my pony right behind me,...

I was out on a trail ride with my friend, and our parents were ahead, and we decided we were going to canter up to them. While I was cantering my horse stepped outside of the trail, and her feet swept under her. We fell down, and I blacked out. I woke up under my horse. She was struggling to get...

It was like any normal day running barrels. Warm up and practice runs went great. It was coming closer to our class at the county fair. I was nervous and wasn't ready to make the 3rd run on my new horse and my first run at the county fair. Our name got called and we went to pen one, the...

One day a few years ago, I decided to ride one of my aunt's other horses. I was trotting around when the horse went over a pole and I was either popped off or fell (I wasn't a very good rider then and was just getting back into riding as I didn't have a horse of my own). I hit...
