I am a firm believer in a helment. No i do not ride everytime in helment becasue I also ride western pleasure. But anytime i am at home and riding there is a helment on my head. A helment would have saved my family a lot of grief because when my sister and I were 5 (We are twins) my sister fell off of a pony and hit her head on a cement pinic table. This pony had always been pretty good but he took off and my sister could not hold on. My sister spent months in a hospital where she had to learn to walk and talk again. She was also held back to repeat kindergarden. When she was a sophomore she started to have seizures from the old scar tissue from her head injury. Now she will always be on seizure medication. But she has never let this disability to slow her down even though we were never in the same classes and when our high principle told my mother that she was not college material but she never tested well on standardized test. She has completed her A.A. General degree and now she is going back to get an A.S. in Early Childhood development.
I am sorry to go off but I feel very strongly about this issues. I have seen what my sister has had to go through. I am also not judging people becasue I am guilty because I have not always worn a helment.
