Protecting Your Head Is Always In Fashion

Raise your hand if you remember when junior riders were required to wear helmets with harnesses. And then ASTM/SEI approved helmets, and suddenly all the kids had Troxels. You know, back when 90 percent of people wore the hunt caps now referred to as “items of apparel,” or who were topped with their beloved Pateys.

I can still remember the great hue and cry when the GPA first arrived on the scene. “Never!” the Hunter Princesses insisted. “Ugly, and never!” Followed, 10 minutes later, by all and sundry racing for them. Including adults.

And then striping them.
