Labor Day weekend is here and that means sales galore! What to buy? What to purchase? Days like today make me sad that I can only wear one helmet at a time. I’m beginning to horde One K Helmets. I already have a Defender for daily wear, a Defender Bling for shows and a Skull Cap for cross country. Much like the old joke “If you only buy bay geldings, you’ll never have to tell your husband how many horses you own”, I’ve stuck to black helmets so far. However, I’m really digging the brown Defender with snake skin. Too bad brown helmets aren’t legal in eventing! Maybe Chinch can pull some strings for me… hmm.
