Re: alternative mode of transportation ;-)
Thanks Roger! She's a good horse, purebred Canadian Horse (also spelled Canadien, either way acceptable). They share some ancestry with Morgans. She's only about 14.2 but very stocky, and just a super cool horse who is so easy to work with.
There's no helmet law here, I've just gotten to be old and wise enough that I figure as inherently unattractive as helmets are it would be far worse to get my brains splattered on the road somewhere if an accident happened, and I've had a close call on a friend's horse, one of those "gee if I wasn't wearing a helmet I'd be really in bad shape right now" situations. It's increasingly common that people wear them out and about on trail rides. I still get some funny looks for it, but hey, that's their problem! There were seven riders on this ride, 4 in helmets and 3 without.
