While I do believe that wearing a helmet is every adult's personal choice, LP's reasoning is stupid for not wearing one.


First of all, getting injured by a horse is NOT always because of behavior problems.


A horse can simply trip and fall, which is not behavioral in the slightest. EVERYONE trips at some point, horses included, but the thing with horses is that they are 1000# animals. They happen to fall on you and land in the wrong spot, and that can cause some major problems. That was the case with my trainer and I guarantee that the reason he fell wasn't because of anything behavioral on the horse's part.
