EVERY TIME. . . EVERY RIDE. . .
is an educational video on head injury prevention is a must for all riders, instructors, horse clubs and parents of children who ride.

Narrated by William Shatner, this professionally produced, approximately 20 minute, educational video demonstrates the need for SEI* protective headgear. Interviews blended together with excellent footage of horses in a wide variety of sports show the benefits of wearing the proper helmet--as well as the unfortunate consequences of riding without one.

Experience, training and the quietest horse in the world are no guarantee of safety. It's the height that puts the rider at risk -- sometimes fatal risk. A rider's unprotected head can receive over 1000 G's of force in ANY fall, at ANY speed -- simply because the fall begins from on top of a horse or pony. Today's energy absorbing, SEI* certified helmets can reduce this force to minimize or prevent injury.

Most riders are unaware of the genuine risk that riding presents. Too often a rider's enjoyment of this breathtaking sport comes to an abrupt end because they lacked the information needed to convince them to wear a helmet.

What others are saying about "Every Time. . . Every Ride"

"This video is effective and important. It should be required that every riding instructor own a copy and every riding student be required to view this video." - Charlotte Kneeland, Director, American Riding Instructor Certification Program

"...a video every member of the horse community must see. It shows the reasons why everyone should wear SEI* certified protective headgear when preparing to mount or when mounted on a horse." - Doris Bixby Hammett, MD, Secretary, American Medical Equestrian Association

This equestrian oriented video will enable riders to make an educated decision regarding their need for protective headgear. And they do need protection.

But people in my sport don't wear helmets. . . "Every Time. . .Every Ride. . ." includes Western, English, driving, cutting, dressage, jumping, gaming and pleasure footage. Let's face it, no horse is totally safe.

*The Safety Equipment Institute certifies helmets which meet or exceed the American Society for Testing & Materials (ASTM) F-1163(A) standard for equestrian headgear. All helmets shown in this flyer are SEI* certified. No headgear can protect the wearer against all foreseeable impacts.

Every Time. . . Every Ride. . . is presented by Washington State University Cooperative Extension and Washington State 4-H Foundation.
