only in spirit, sister. That helmet was a Caliente jockey skull, special ordered from England in 1975(?) after my hunt cap came off in a fall and I required two stitches in my head. I rode in the helmet every ride until it got run over by the trailer in 1984, not too long after these photos were taken. The gray was Paleface, thought to be a Connemara. 14h 1.5 in, was the same age as I was and and died of a brain tumor in 1989 at the age of 21. I had had her from the time I was 8. She took me from new-to-pony club through my B rating, from short stirrup in the hunter ring to Eventing at training level. more photos of her here : http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/album.php?aid=13377&id=100000573185134 and here: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=114658815229891&set=a.114658811896558.14964.100000573185134
