Story time: My gelding (my profile picture) I've had for 12 years. So, I was walking him down to the yard (home yard) and he was being very spooky. So I decided to put my helmet on. And I'm forever grateful I did just as I fastened the strap. A bird flew out her reared up and his hoof clocked me on the head. My helmet saved my life. I now always wear my helmet when catching him. ( and riding)

[@kathrynkennedy826]

I fell off my pony I hated him for a day but when he was sold I cried all night

[@bloomingacres8587]

I hopped on my green appy mare. Her name is Matilda. She spooked at some trot poles that were standing up and started bucking like crazy. I basically did a front flip off of her. I landed on my tailbone (broke it) and then my head flung back and hit the ground. Luckily, I was wearing a helmet. The whole helmet was broken on the inside after. I ended up coming out with just a concussion and my broken tail bone but the doctors said if I hadn't been wearing a helmet I would've cracked my head open. I wont ever get on a horse without one.

What you said about helmets are so so true. A few months ago I was having a lesson with my friends. Now all three of our horses are usually very calm and unproblematic. However this time, the horse who was at front started bucking (Things like this happen, they're animals, they have feelings as well) and she flew right into the fence. Her helmet actually cracked, however it definitely saved her life. No matter how experienced you are, it's crucial to wear the proper gear.

Hi

[@moose_tracks_]

My first concussion was on my very first time falling off. It was very minor and I didn’t notice it until the next day. I didn’t go to the hospital but I felt dizzy all the time and my head hurt like hell. I later described it to my coach and she told me I definitely had a concussion but it had healed by then.

Glad you are bringing awareness to the need to replace helmets after a fall. I was on a little trail ride about 5 minutes from home and had a fall, head first on a rock, and my helmet was in 2 pieces. Was told had I not been wearing one the fall could have easily been fatal.

I had this too i was too scared to get up on a horse but now a few months later i can ride him again sooo i will get over it i hope you get your full confidence back

[@snowyowl1996]

I can definitely relate to the ebb and flow of riding confidence! For a while, I was nervous to ride my horse (not really mine, just a horse I’ve worked with for a few years now), until I decided to take it slow and get to know him better with groundwork. Now our bond is stronger than ever! And Joey is so sweet, I’m sure he rarely does things to just be naughty 💗 That’s a confidence boost in itself! And I love your message about riding safety!!! I had a minor fall once, but it was enough to detach my helmet rim. My parents immediately said to replace it since there’s no guarantee it could protect me in another fall!

[@matildahind1678]

So glad you are ok. It's really great you give sound health and safety advice. I have had a few spills myself - getting back on can be nerve-racking- but so worth it. It's the realities of riding.

[@osteophagus]

Thank you for the message! You really never know. My mare - in the 10 years I had her - had only 2 full blown spooks with me. And I came off and landed head first both times. Another time everything went from fine to me getting clothes-lined at a full canter on a tree due to a perfect storm on a generally non-spooky horse and I assure you things would have ended MUCH worse if I had not had my helmet on for that impact.
