-> There was a message in rec.equestrian about a trainer who won't allow
-> her students to wear the new approved helmets!!  Doesn't like they
-> way they look....can you believe it!!!  AND, worst of all, there were
-> people who defended her!
How terrible.  I can't imagine being more concerned with looks than with
safety.  Especially when its not your life and future.  In my opinion
that would be like forbiding their children from wearing seatbelts
because they would crease their clothes.
-> I learned something new there, though...thought the AHSA had made
-> mandatory approved helmets for children under a certain age at AHSA
-> approved shows...guess they never carried through with it...honest to
-> God!  Too much controversy, etc.  I mean, give me a break!!  I think
-> Pony Club does require them, but now I'm not so sure about that
-> either.  Anyone know?
Whooosies!  I'm not sure about Pony Club but CHA requires them at all
their camps.  They censor what their children watch on TV or at
the movies because it might be a bad influence or because its
inapropriate(sp) but they will risk their health/life for looks.  Okay,
sorry.  Soapbox mode off.
They put up some big stalls/pens out at the barn this weekend for some
of the bigger horses.  They look like they are about 12' x 24' and half
covered and half full.  They put up 4 and filled 2.
