  Helmets - The Rules Have Changed

  I am a big proponent of helmet use every time, every ride for everyone. I believe that wearing a helmet should be the norm and love to see professionals and big-name-riders wearing helmets. I love it when advertisers select photos of riders wearing helmets, and hope to see more of it in the future.

Let’s face it---if your horse’s bed feels like an old lumpy mattress, he probably won’t lie down for long enough to move into a deep sleep. Stall mattresses can change all that.
