i cant decide if i like the look of the tipperarry or not lol. but it seems to be popular with cross country riders. im leaning more towards that one. and troxel..well just because thats the schooling helmet i've always had. i would be using both for XC, paperchases, and all around schooling

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

well,

the first one is a showjumping and cross-country helmet... (its a h**l of alot safer!)...

the second one is usually for dressage (because the odds of you falling off in dressage are low)

i would suggest getting the first one!...i have one and there not too bad..sure..there not the most glamorous helmets in the world..but is very very safe!!...and you can get a cool hkat cover for it =D...

omg welll good 4 u to keep horseriding!...thats a big thing wa just happened to you!..cant believe it trampled ur head!..i had a horse on top of me b4 wen i fell...waz soreeee!!...most girls i know that fall off seriously never would go near anova horse again...bu good4u!! =D

the first one is to ugly

Answer 4

Just remember no matter wot one you go for make shur it is properly fitted

But i do like the first one better thats wot i hav and its ace

Answer 5

I hate helmets but i think the second one is better looking

Answer 6

the first one is more of what your looking for, it is more protective. the troxel is for schooling and light riding .Even though the first one isn't as attractive it will probably save you from bad injuries better then the troxel would because it is meant for XC and the troxel is mainly for schooling. hope this helps.

Answer 7

I would go with the Troxel! They are and awesome brand of helmet.

Answer 8

I think the first one is more advanced, but i like the look of the other one, but i would go with the first one because it looks like its more advanced in the helmet impacted or if you fall off.

Answer 9

go with the troxel
