Our girls are working hard today at the State 4-H Horse Show. We hope they end the day with good results and safe runs!

Special thanks to Angie and the Mississippi Department of Rehabilitation Services Traumatic Brain & Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund -Mississippi for donating these helmets to our girls and always ensuring we have something for our club to “protect their head.”

Did you know that the American Medical Equestrian Association calculates that ASTM/SEI approved helmets have reduced all riding-related head injuries by 30% and severe head injuries by 50%? Wear a helmet. Protect your head.
