Helmets are the talk of the equestrian world right now. The publicity surrounding Courtney King’s helmet-less fall and resulting brain injury have unified the pro-helmet forces like never before. Websites that show pictures of riders without helmets are loudly condemned, riders such as Allison who wear helmets in dressage gain great publicity, and, most recently, Succeed is getting some quality publicity from making www.riders4helmets.com. Robert Dover has required his Canadian dressage team to wear helmets everywhere but in the competition arena, but is this far enough?
What about other FEI disciplines such as vaulting?
