They look like equine helmets, just painted. Why do you think they are bicycle helmets? |

 I've seen the ones she rides in and sells, they're normal riding helmets. Look through Dover's or Adam's helmet selection and you'll see lots that are similar. |

Location: In the Hills of Texas | They are definitley a lower end helmet.
I thought I read somewhere that they are the low end Troxels.

She's a great Marketer. Face of the franchise! Yeah, she probably cries about people being silly about her helmets, then wipes the tears away with a big old check! Lol : ) SMH! I have noticed the number of helmets at jackpots is increasing, as are the tie dyed pants. Evidently she's on to something.
I'm glad she has so much support. My friends won't ride with me when I wear my helmet. It makes me sad. I spent so much time blinging it up.

Location: Huffman, Texas | I have two helmets now, and I never considered wearing one until I met a huge pole fence head on in Gonzales, Texas on 02/17/2013. I remember a time when Delores O'Tool or Tool wore one. I always that that if an NFR girl would wear one at the NFR, then they would catch on. It also makes me happy to see Joy wear one. She is a top notch 1D'er also!! Nothing wrong with saving the brains! When I see a child with a helmet on it shows to me just how much the parents love and cherish their children!!! |

I used my helmet covers from when I rode at the track. Lots of cool designs. I've had many parents thank me for being an example. Although I've flown many head injury patients into a trauma center it took me losing a friend, an awesome world champion dressage rider to a head injury prior to me wearing one full time.
Fallon asked me several questions after our back to back slack runs at Seguin last year. So she has been giving this some thought for awhile. Her husband was in on the conversation; you could see his wheels turning, Hey, he protected his noggin' while in the NFL. |

They looked a little bulkier than I guess I expected. They don't look the same as the jumper/cross country helmets I have seen. I have never worn one so I'm pretty clueless about them, hence the silly question lol. |

 They're definitely not high end site helmets, which is why they don't look like the ones you'll see in misty English competitions. |

There are many choices...those are the cheap troxels. You can buy a cover. Just depends on how daring you are..LOL

| Remember that part of what makes a helmet safe is it fitting correctly.
I've worn a lot of helmets and only a select few truly fit any one individual head style correctly. I have a tipperary right now that I like okay, but I tried a Troxel Intrepid on the other day and it was amazing, my next purchase for sure.
Her helmets are cute, but I'm worried that people will be spending $100 on a $40 helmet that doesn't fit.
I would love to see some of the talented hat painters out there offering to do helmets of a brand and size that you choose, much better option IMO. |

I will publicly apologize to Fallon for my rude words that she wouldn't continue this crusade after the NFR. A tip of my ole Resistol hat to you. |
