Curious if anyone is wearing helmets?
I'd bet from the US only Tiana will, not sure about the Canadians and I'd guess none of the "Olympic hopeful" Europeans.
Should have started a poll yesterday
I hope someone has the guts to be a good roll model (flame suit for the individual freedom and they aren't roll-model Nazis on )

Well, I hope so, it would be a great opportunity to be a role model. It cracks me up that KOC wears an air vest because she claims she wants to "..utilize all the latest technology.." to stay safe, then straps on a piece of cardboard (basically) to protect her brain. Now, even though I know it's unproven, I wear an airvest also, but my definition of latest technology includes a helmet every ride.
Experience is the hardest teacher. The test comes first, the lesson afterward.

I saw at least one this AM. A Brazilian rider. That caught me by surprise, I would not have pictured the Brazilians as an especially safety conscious team.

Eventing Nation said a Swedish rider was the first of the go this AM. I have no issue being a helmet nazi and wish they were just mandated by the rules.
I only saw two riders with helmets, Brazil and a Swedish rider. None of the U.S. riders wore a helmet today. I was thinking the same thing. I bet Allison Springer would have. I bet her dressage would have been better too.
Any Olympians Wearing Helmets in Dressage?
