I learned to ride saddleseat before huntseat. It's where horses do this: http://www.gaitedhorses.net/Articles...saddleseat.JPG And in a lot of cases, there's just not gonna be a helmet. When I started off, I didn't worry about it because you're on the bulletproof lesson horses that think of trotting for very long as a ridiculous notion. 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.
