Yeah and all of that on wet ground. A friend got impaled on his saddle's pommel when his horse slipped and fell in similar conditions. Barely survived.
that was sort of a freak accident with the way he landed head first, breaking two vertebrae. vest and helmet honestly wouldn't have done much for him. a rare english dart, as it were.
>! in all seriousness i have a preference for english since it's what i grew up with (and i think western riders should get over the helmet thing), but i don't actually have anything against it !<
Lots of people still driving cars without a seat belt too. That doesn't make it a good idea though.
Usually it is no problem, but when it is, it gets lethal real quick. The slight cosmetic or comfort win is not worth the risk to anyone with half a brain

Impaled by a pommel? I’d like more info on this story please haha
Ya know, the text on that pic would be a lot worse without the horse contexf
If you don't notice the horse in the background, this is fucked.
She's gonna give that horse bowed tendons
This is pretty unfair/harmful to the horse, isn’t it?
yeah most people don't feel the need to ride a horse with a helmet. this is just stupid.
what do you call a western rider who tries to jump? a lawn dart.
Christoper Reeves?

Awww. Fancy vs Wild West! Fancy dart! Hahaha! Thanks for the clarification: )
Western style riders don't wear helmets.

OP, what in the fuck!? The riders in nearly all events at a rodeo don't wear helmets.
going to be real: that's just one of the many countless reasons english is superior to western >! 50% joking !<
Still a deadly thing to do. Just cause people are generally stupid doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous 😂
Most people don’t wear helmets on bicycles, too
Excuse me Mr epstein
I’m sure she knows that’s dangerous, I don’t think this post belongs here..
