Ever since I have been riding horses, I’ve worn a riding helmet. My parents have always been adamant about it, and I’m glad they were. A few years ago, a horse bolted and threw me into the barn wall. I hit a large metal bucket as I fell. (At first we thought I broke my collarbone but turns out I didn’t.) It just goes to show that horses can be unpredictable. Anything can happen, and it’s better safe than sorry.
That’s why I am so excited to announce that Troxel has offered to give three helmets away in our contests! In September, we celebrated the fall show season by giving away a gorgeous new Troxel ES.
October is when our popular Horse Halloween Costume Contest started and we gave away a Troxel Liberty all purpose helmet.
Then this November, we’ll give away the Rebel - a Western helmet.
Troxel gave me an ES helmet to try and review honestly. As you can see in my YouTube video review, I think it's awesome!
I’d love to hear about your experiences. How has your riding helmet kept you safer? Comment below!
I used to not care about wearing a helmet (sometimes still don't) but I fell off my horse named Blue and hit my head on the ground and got a really bad headache and a bruise. I started (mostly) wearing a helmet.

My friend fell off a horse and got dragged fifty feet. I did not personally see this, but that's what she told me.

troxel rebel by: heather
I won this helmet thanks to Troxel and Sydney putting on this contest. This is probably one of the most comfortable helmets I have gotten from Troxel. It fits nicely and is super cool looking. I love how almost all of the Troxel helmets, if you put your hair in a low pony tail, let your hair fit through the slat in the back. The vents are evenly placed and work great. There is a reason Troxel is one of the number 1 helmet makers these people have it down to a T. Way to go Troxel on another great product!

Why I wear a helmet when riding by: Brandon
I always make sure that me and my daughter wear a helmet when riding so that we are safe in case we have a fall. It keeps us from getting any kind of head injury.

I wear a riding helmet because they protect your head while riding. They also look stylish.

Why I wear a helmet? by: Lindsey
I wear a helmet because I have seen too many people injured from lack of protection. I may be able to control where a horse goes but I can not control their fear. Fear is driving force for a horse that can cause great harm to the rider. By wearing a helmet I add another security blanket and peace of mind... Especially for my mother.

Wearing a helmet has just become a part of riding. I love my horse but I love myself too! Never know what could happen.

Why I Wear A Helmet by: Chloe
I wear a helmet because a long time ago I fell of my horse and the helmet basically saved my life!

Definitely by: Amazing Rider
I think everybody should wear a helmet when they ride horses, bikes and skateboards because you never know you could fall down. For example: your riding your horse and you accidentally fall over and you don't wear your helmet there is a possibility of getting a bad injury.

Always wear a helmet by: Liana T

Helmets by: Morgan S
I wear a helmet because I feel it is a necessity in order for you to be at your safest. I have known a lot of people who have ridden without helmets and gotten in serious accidents that have led to concussions. To be honest, I am the kind of person who likes safe and doesn't really like living on the dangerous side of life. I also wear a helmet because when my younger sister was younger, she fell off of a fire truck (long story) and broke her sinuses and was told that if she had a fall like that again, she would most likely die. I wear a helmet to show her that it is never bad to live on the safer side. Also, I wear a helmet because it makes me feel more secure.

33 Years by: Tali
Been riding over 33yrs. Always wear my Troxel helmets. Saved my life - was riding on a dirt road and passing a horse pasture when one of the horses in the pasture ran up to the fence, stopped suddenly and flung mud out and over myself and my horses head across the road and some hit us as well. My gelding reared up and flipped over onto me. I remember my head hitting twice dead center in the back of my skull. My Troxel helmet was shattered from the impact at that exact location. This all happened within 5 seconds. I am not a novice rider, used to show pleasure in breed shows, trail riding in numerous states and riding endurance. I would not be here today if I had not had that helmet on. Tali - Michigan

Why I Would Like The Helmet :) by: Eden
I would like this helmet because I'm going to lease a horse with my own money, but I'm going to need a riding helmet in order to ride him. And I would have already spent all my money on the horse and my parents can't afford to buy me a riding helmet. I would greatly appreciate the helmet. Thank you very much! :)

Why I Wear A Helmet by: Penelope M
Wearing a riding helmet not only ensures my safety, but the safety of my horse. Should I have a serious fall, helmet protection would prevent a serious injury that could prevent me from taking care of my horse and spending time together!

Why I Ride With A Helmet by: Anonymous
I ride with a helmet because I'm pretty sure it's a law not only can they be stylish but they protect you from when you do fall off. Troxel is a really good company. I have a velveteen one that I use when I do show and a schooling helmet for trail rides. Troxel is probably the best company to use.

Helmets Are A Life Saver Literally! by: Anne
Helmets are so important. I had a really bad accident once, if I hadn't worn a helmet I could have had a major brain injury. Wear a helmet!

You should never get on a horse without a helmet. It's just not worth the risk! Sure, they get hot and sweaty and uncomfortable, but would you rather be uncomfortable in a wheelchair?

Never Without :) by: Ilonka/The Cre8ive Chick
Grew up with horses, had a 12 year "baby break" before getting back into it in my 30s. Haven't ridden without a helmet since. People always ask when I'm finally going to trust my horses enough to take it off. The answer is never. It has zero to do with trust but things happen, horses trip, spook reasons to keep it on! Just rode my Friesian bareback and Bitless this morning - but with a helmet on my head.

Helmets are important! by: Maddie
I was sitting on my horse bareback in an arena and out of nowhere he bolted and threw me into a fence. My head hit the fence 3 times on the way down and if it weren't for my helmet I could've gotten hurt really badly. Helmets are a very important thing and I would love to have this new helmet for showing this fall!

helmets rock! by: eventinglover
A day before my first show, a stubborn little pony named Phantom went nuts and threw me off. My instructor's helper was dragging a hose across the arena right as I was headed toward a cross rail. She accidentally moved the hose quickly, and Phantom jumped, did a crazy circle, and started galloping. He was going for the wall and I was falling off of the side the wall was about to be on, so I bailed. I fell on the side of my head, bounced a few times and then skidded to a stop like nothing had ever happened. I was so glad I had my helmet, without it, I might have hurt something. Phantom was a naughty horse, but he taught me a great lesson. Always wear a helmet! I need a new helmet, though. I've outgrown my current one. :) I would love to win this giveaway!
