Location: In the Hills of Texas | I have to say if bling was a fad...it was a long fad. I started selling Rodeo Drive back in the end of 2005. I don't think it will ever go out. I just feel some have backed off of being overly blinged to a nice touch on saddle conchos and a buckle and concho at the bit end. Now fringe is another story...that comes and goes pretty quickly. |

You're so right...I was thinking of fringe on breastcollars as being a fad. Fringe on clothing and purses will never go out. I also have a coat and purse with fringe..LOL |

Location: Cocoa, Florida | Well maybe it's just my area because I felt like one of the very few people at our nbha this past weekend that was wearing a helmet and I just thought maybe that it's "going out of style" again.
I just see so many Fallon followers loosing the breast collars now also, wondering if she took the helmet off big they would also? 
I personally have never been a big "fad" follower but I am a fan of the beaded tack sets and the Navajo designs are classy and cute. My favorite breast collar is the one I won from nbha, it has more sentimental value to me and I'd rather show it off. I'm also cheap though, i could put $500 to better use then a tack set!
Oh and I love my nylon bridles, easy to change bits! Nylon will never go out for me |

Location: Idaho | I dont jump on bangwagons, its like the super blingy conchos, etc... Honestly, in the end, I really don't care what people are putting on themselves or their horses. You go out there and make a good run, that will grab my attention. I am into denim shirts, plain leather belt, and super nice hand tooling on quality leather (Hooligan Designs, Sue Smith and Danyelle Campbell look), my choice of hardware doesn't make me win, quality equipment sure helps though! |

Location: Louisiana | I'm seeing more and more helmets in my area. On people of all ages.
It's becoming more common for parents to put them on their kids.
As far as the fringe, I think leather fringe has always been around in western fashion to an extent. Jackets, purses... The breastcollar thing is recent but will come and go I'm sure like other trends.
I like fringe but don't have any currently. I sold mine bc everyone else had one also haha.
There's a look for us all!! |

I refuse to not have bangs! Until last fall when I chopped my hair off I still rocked the scrunchies on occasion (they are great for keeping various things together in the horse trailer too, which is probably why I could never find any...). Up until a couple of years ago I STILL got spiral perms.
I completely remember pinch rolling jeans in the day! That skill has been very handy with a rodeo queen daughter by the way. She wears her jeans extra long so they don't scooch up and show her boots riding. With spurs on it's never a problem. BUT, when she has on "appearance only" boots without spurs, her jeans drag, and I think just folding under looks tacky for queens. So...I had an epiphany a few years ago...I "pinch" her jeans on the inside ankle like I was going to roll them, then put a single safety pin on the inside instead. She can ride in them then switch to non-spur boots and they don't drag. With the pant legs stacked you can't tell. Now (if I remember before we go somewhere with new ones), all her queening jeans have that pinch tuck tacked down - but we still use a safety pin in a pinch.
Thanks to being an 80s girl I can do big hair (queen hair) like a pro. I have not mastered the sleeker look of today though, sadly. |

 Dancing in my Mind

Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | I think helmets will only continue to become more used. My daughter is 15 and has been wearing one since the first time she was on a horse. It is second nature for her, her generation and those younger. Even on the rodeo scene (for barrels and poles), helmets are becoming a normal sight. Went to a barrel race over the weekend and even saw a couple of men wearing them
With the internet and social media, the stories of what can happen are so easily spread these days. Makes the awareness of the importance of head protection in your face. I know it makes me think twice before getting on. |

Location: North Texas | Not to hijack the thread but...what started ya'll wearing helments? Injury or just because you've read about injuries or to be proactive in prevention?
Honestly just curious...have a lot of horse people in my family that have never worn one so it's very foreign to me. I've noticed more helments than usual, but not enough for it to be considered "normal" wear either. |

After not riding for 10 years, I started back up and was a TOTALLY different rider, mostly because I am 50 lbs. heavier, I think. I lost all my confidence and balance was off. So I started really observing and thinking about what my problem was other than being fat. I realized that I was not brave at all anymore, so I bought a helmet and I felt more confident, started yoga, got stronger, more confidence. I still am not fearless like I was when I was younger, but that helmet sure helped me out. |

| I think for me it was having kids. I want to be a responsible role model. And my husband made it a requirement lol. He said it would make him feel better if I used one. Can't blame the man for caring about his wife. I will say that I do not find them comfortable so I am still getting used to it.
I need to find me some of those banana clips.

| For me the decision to wear a helmet was a gradual one. The idea was planted when a man I greatly admired growing up had a bad wreck on a horse and hit his head. He never recovered - lost his memory and seemed to only have the mental capacity of someone around age 10. It was hard to hear him call me an angel for sitting and talking to him at shows and I saw the toll his care took on his family. I always felt dorkey in a hat and had to wear them for rodeos and registered shows. Finally decided that a helmet suited me better. My niece turned me onto some English styles and I found what was the most comfortable to me.
As far as fads go, I think the helmets are here to stay. I'm too cheep to follow fads in tack, but I do love CLASSY tooled leather, some turquoise and have seen some beautiful beaded work. |

Fallon's endorsement planted the seed, but this story pushed me over the edge about a year ago this time.

I use Aqua Net hair spray like it's going out of style for that big hair look. It's cheap and if it'll hold the 80s it'll hold my hair too! LOL |
