I never meant for that to post....it was for one person..anyway I have worn safety helmets called hard hats back when i was young. Rode under instruction from age 7 to 15 Hunter/Jumper...age 15 to 25 my father added a Dressage instructor to my riding program. In 1973 or '74 my  friend wanted to ride my first horse...I insisted she put on my hard hat because he was a tough guy to handle. He threw her off and her head broke a fence rail..We were 15 or 16 years old when this happened...she almost stopped riding because of this incident.She was injured, but not to the extent it could have been had she not been wearing my hat.
I was just being honest in saying I don't wear helmets all the time...In fact I just started riding a horse today that has some problems....It was so hot I didn't bother to wear one....Many of the trainers/instructors I know do the same...just being honest...
