I was all stressed out about my midterm yesterday and got to the test and took my boyfriends advice. he said study the day of but stop at least 3 hours before and relax. So I did and I got my results back a day early and i got an 86% YAYYY!

Then! I got back on my horse that I have kind of nervous about, Hemi. He's been on and off lame and we found out he has some swelling under the navicular bone and we have handled that. THEN, I was going on a trail ride with a friend and was going to take the trusty horse and Hemi was hanging his head out of his stall basically begging to be rode. What do you know... he was an angel the WHOLE ride! Of course it was a trail and he basically power walked the whole ride, but I finally feel confident with him again! I am going to go try on helmets and am planning on ordering a helmet very soon!

What kind of helmets do you all wear?

 I wear a Troxel Rebel. I just got it, and so far, really like it.

  Hey! Good for you and your horse! I wear a Troxel helmet but luckily I haven't had to test how good it is. :)

I wear a tipperary too. It is very comfy and fitted around your head shape unlike most usual riding helmets. It has a more sporty look I think and comes in different colors. I love mine and feel so much safer with it on, even on a kid broke 20 yo horse anything can happen! I've had mine 5 years now and it has very little wear.

I have a tippery sportage as well. I honestly don't wear it often, but if I am riding around the house by myself it is ALWAYS on my head. I always used to have troxels, but they make my giant head look even bigger lol.

My daughter just got the Troxel Rebel and loves it. It seems to fit her really well and it is way more streamlined and less bulky.

I also wear a Tippery Sportage. It is really comfortable and I do forget I have it on. I would suggest to try on different ones to find out what fits your head the best.
