Once I got on horses that were more likely to spook, I insisted on a helmet. Probably should've had one the whole time, but like I said, it's not common or at least not that I saw.

They're showing that footage of Super Saver's brother right now. WinStar extended the contest to the 18th because of demand they said, I hope it's not because the ones before weren't what they had in mind. I want to be victorious. I gather you can only submit one, so maybe I would've thought about it more.
That's a neat photo- I like watching saddleseat. My first throw was headfirst into a wall, but the lesson place required helmets so I was okay. I'll never get on one without a helmet, though.

What did you submit for the name? Can you tell?
