Disgusted at BHS role model!

Unfortunately you tend to get the same snotty and sarcastic remarks when wearing your hat to turn horses out. You could so so easily get kicked in the head and I have seen near misses so many times it makes me wince. Also what is wrong in wearing a hard hat when teaching horse to pick back legs up??? I always seem to work better concious.

I just got a hoof in the face while leading my mare. A helmet probably would not have saved me but if the hoof had hit elsewhere it would have helped. I don't ever belittle anyone for using safety equipment. It's very often the freak accidents that you don't expect that hurt people, rather than the falls taken while doing the extreme.
