I almost never wear my helmet, my choice. I'd never tell anybody that they shouldn't wear a helmet, or that the only reason they do is because their horses isn't trained enough. Like a trainer here who used to say helmets were only for riders who are going to fall off, and you won't fall off if you don't wear one. Then he face planted and I pissed my pants laughing at him.
