Driving Thursday
Been There, Done That competed with her combined helmet & driving hat at the 31st Annual ASAC Spring Classic Horse Show. The green hat, by Debbie Navelski of RodeApple Hats, is designed to fit snugly over a helmet. [Guest Post: It’s Let’s-Wear-A-Helmet Day!]
The judge had no problem with a helmet in pleasure driving, giving the pair the victory in the first class.
The driver wanted to be sure that I credited owner Reagan Upton, trainer Courtney Huguley of Stepping Stone Farm, and of course, Rare Friends. Photo by Sandra Hall, used with permission.

This is so wonderful to see! I’m starting to see a greater influx of western gaming riders wearing a helmet too, and not just minors!
Some years ago I was in a pretty bad riding accident. My helmet (the “mushroom head” version) got a big dent. I got a headache. Without that helmet my skull would have had the dent and I wouldn’t be here to write this.
