There are a lot of excuses for not wearing a helmet when you ride. But there is no good reason. The quietest, most well trained horse can cause injury if it is startled or hurt. Ask anyone who has accidentally ridden too close to a beehive, or was riding along when a car backfired or was schooling a quiet horse in the arena when it slipped & fell. A helmet won't make you invincible, but it will help protect the one part of your body almost impossible to fix - your brain. Please don't use these excuses and do use an approved riding helmet every time you ride.
It's my head, and I'm willing to take the risk. You might think, it's my head and I'm willing to take the risk. But, what if your head meets an arena wall, fence post, rock or hard ground? Head injuries can lead to permanent debilitation. And while it may be your head, have you decided who will spend their life looking after you if you can't look after yourself due to a head injury? If you think you don't need a helmet then you should look your son, daughter, spouse, or friend in the eye and tell them: I don't need a helmet, but if I am wrong it will be your job to care for me. Think about it!
