[QUOTE="flaboy?, post: 421567, member: 5749"] Personally I would find a new trainer. No trainer in his/her right mind should ever allow someone with your experience on a horse with no helmet. Yes, there are many of us that learned to ride without them mainly because they were not invented yet. :shock: We survived but I bet there are many of us that took some pretty severe hits. Technology marches on and we should use whatever we available to keep us safe. If you really want to learn to ride. Find someone with a pony. Ride it bareback and a lot. If you fall, you don't fall far plus those little guys will give you all you want. Other than that my only advice is to keep your feet under you and not in front. By this I mean, don't push the stirrups forward with you feet. Oh, and start bareback walking, then trotting. Hips to your knees are for you to stay on, knees to toes are used to tell the horse what you want him to do. [/QUOTE]
