I’m nasty for saying I like her video and pics? Stellar. I was getting sick of my nice girl image anyway. Plus it just gave meup and rug cause to try and bash me off the boards.[/QUOTE]
Your first post on this thread when it was resurrected was a clear attempt on your part to cause trouble. When you didn’t get the response you had obviously hoped for, you repeated your reasons for liking the video. Yes, that’s nasty. Times two.

Thank you for your opinion 
I have an IRH helmet. Does that make me less of a rider? Just curious.
My helmet has an elastic chin strap, so I’m even less of a rider than you.
tidy true hunter princesses only wear GPA’s or Charles Owens, geesh. Guin !!! GASP!!! I can’t even go there. The horror!

I jumped the biggest while I was in high school and wearing… wait for it… a velvet hunt cap whose elastic chinstrap AND the lining (a diamond of foam at the top) had chewed out by rats in the barn. Swear to God. Oh yeah, and I was all about getting into college with the head I risked day in, day out.
To the rest of y’all in some sideline fight. Really? Did that just happen? The trainwreck fight picks up exactly where it left off?

bet that thing smelled yummy after a day of riding ;)
From what I’ve seen of the CO helmets, I’d rather wrap my noggin up in an IRH thanks.
300 bucks for a styrofoam shell with a velvet cover and an emblem in the center doesn’t really do it for me. I want a helmet that can take a punch and keep on ticking. Oh, and one that can be washed too, because nothing is more disgusting than a filthy helmet worn day after day and never cleaned thoroughly.

Oh the best part is when you take your child to Dover Saddlery to buy one and they fit her, and then place this thing ON TOP of her head, no literally like it perched on top of her head, didn’t come down on the side at all. I said, " I think she needs a bigger one." Saleswoman “Oh we can’t recommend a bigger size, she measures to this size and we can’t compromise her safety.” Me, " So you are going to guarantee her life if I buy this thing that perches on top of her head?" Saleswoman," We can’t guarantee any helmets." Me, “Yes, I know, thank you goodbye.”

tidy true hunter princesses only wear GPA’s or Charles Owens, geesh. :)[/QUOTE] I have one of each, what does that make me? I love my CO, most comfortable helmet EVER. However, to Tidy’s point, the GPA does have removable washable liners. Although my CO never got stinky, and I didn’t even use the pantyliner trick my DQ friends taught me for keeping the insides of helmets free of sweat. We all just throw our COs in the dishwasher to get clean. And the GPA just isn’t as comfortable. Hmmm.

OH EM GEE, you are like the queen of the princesses!!
I swear it’s something about head shape, that either GPA fits better or Co, but both can never be equally comfortable. I did end up finding a CO for kiddo that fits properly and she loves. Now she want’s a GPA, she better just grow right into my old one ;), o.s. dishwasher trick=best ever!

'K, so after the very expensive undergrad education (with financial aid), I chose a new helmet.
I was in grad school. Mo’ money (belonging to a university, not me) and not showing. The first helmet was a Troxel that… wait for it… had the side melted from a day spent in my hot truck. I kinda, sorta reshaped the edge with my fingers.
Later, approaching the maximum of knowledge and other peoples’ money my head could hold, I busted out and bought a… wait for it… velvet CO, chasing the aesthetic of the original rat-chewed hunt cap.
That’s how I roll.
So these two frogs are sitting in the bathtub.
One says to the other:
“Pass the soap.”
The other one retorts:
“No soap, radio.”
It is totally possible to get interesting pictures of horses in a dark indoor arena. Here’s one of me and Havoline schooling late one night… http://pets.webshots.com/photo/2884242950048495570IwZQAy
Even in the dark you can still get fun shots.

cool silhouette! p.s. you’re my idol, what’s that you’re jumping like 3’ friggin 6" :lol::lol::lol::lol:. man he really picks up his knees at that height.
No but really really, you’re my idol.
my mistake, it must have been daytime in the winter… note the light coming under the door and through the windows along the top. I remember we were getting ready to go to St Louis. If you look closely you can make out the IRH on my head. OH THE HORROR!

:eek: GASP!!! (actually it has a nice low profile look in this photo, go figure, alas, melon heads are IN at the moment)
Alright everyone, there were some requests for pictures so I brought the video camera along to the lesson and cajoled Trainer into taping a round:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9q-EXvZ_5w
Curious individuals may now see how the horse is going in an up-to-the-minute update as well as how our schooling sessions normally go and what the facility/jumps are like etc etc and so forth.
Those paying attention to detail may note that I am wearing a CO hampton helmet with a large flap chewed out of the originally beautiful dove grey velvet, an unfortunate modification which occured when the beloved helmet was left in reach of the beloved horse on the trailer one day.
Barnbum I hope you like it.
Normally I ride in an “unmodified” helmet but tonight I wore that f*cker just for you.:lol:

I’ve heard that joke before. Makes me laugh hysterically every time. As does this thread. Hours of entertainment!

I know I’m sad, but can someone please help me out with this one?
OP, your last fence was beautiful! Congrats on your horse’s progress!
