My helmet advocacy is not exactly a secret. So it should come as no surprise when I post for you this little reminder:
TOMORROW, JULY 10TH, IS NATIONAL HELMET AWARENESS DAY!!!
This event has been sponsored by riders4helmets.com and is much more than just a shout out in the name of safety!
Perhaps the most impressive part is the nationwide helmet sale; a list of participating retailers (over 125 of them!) can be found here (organized by state and a VERY impressive list). You can also follow on Facebook. I just got an email today from Dover Saddlery stating that they will be offering 15% off on all helmet brands listed below for the entire day tomorrow, so no excuses!
Participating manufacturers include Troxel, Charles Owen, Aegis, GPA, Ovation, Tipperary, IRH, and Antares Sellier France.
There will also be an on-the-ground event at the Kentucky Horse Park tomorrow, you can read more about it on the riders4helmets.com website.
A helmet campaign t-shirt autographed by leading equestrians will also be placed up for auction in the Courtney King-Dye Medical Fund/Equestrian Aid Foundation eBay store tomorrow.
So if you need to replace an older helmet or you are currently riding bareheaded, do everyone who cares about you a favour and wander over to your equestrian retailer of choice and snag a great deal!
