I'm so happy to get back on to the board. I used to post as Martagon, but couldn't get on. So i switched to CanadianHorse, but still couldn't get in. Thank goodness, Mike did something, and I'm back, but under my new name.
Does anyone here wear one of those body vests, if so, why? My 11-yr-old daughter had a tumble from her horse 3 1/2 weeks ago, and broke her collarbone. Not too serious, and she's raring to get back on her horse, but.. now i'm just a bit more conscious of the vulnerability. (i was before, but now more so) I realize the vest would not have saved her clavicle, but the horse went left when she went right. I shudder to think if they had both gone the same way.
We've bought a new helmet, just in case the old one was damaged (the outside was banged up) but now I'm thinking about getting vests for both girls. Any thoughts out there?
