Safety for Trail Riders...It Matters!

"Unfortunately, many trail riders don’t wear helmets–and there are a lot of avoidable injuries as a result. One friend had to be airlifted off a trail a few years ago after her horse tripped on some rocks and she suffered a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Luckily, she WAS wearing her helmet, and it likely saved her life. The point is, putting “fashion” over safety is short-sighted, especially now that you can have both! (horserookie.com)"

Today we are sharing an article which talks about the proper safety gear and essentials for those who trail ride! Sometimes trail riders don't wear helmets or prefer casual comfort over safety. Or because they are only walking or have done it a million times before they don't always think about their own safety first.

  1. I never mount a horse with no helmet on and I teach my kids the same. My fave pick are IRH helmets that are light but solid enough. The air ventilation is great so I can wear it even in the middle of the heatwave. Currently I'm using Equi-Pro Helmet like this one https://horsezz.com/best-horse-riding-helmets-adults/ and it's out of this world!
