Review on Riding Safely With The Troxel Spirit Equestrian Helmet by Shane Ryder

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT Helmet from GREAT People!

Since I insist on the highest level of safety, our eight-year-old daughter wears a full coverage, Snell Foundation approved motorcycle helmet for all of her regular horseback riding. However, we ordered this helmet for use in her occasional competitive trail riding at shows. She is a big girl for her age, a very tall with a medium build (90 pounds). We used Troxel's recommended size according to their sizing information and It fits her perfectly with a little room for growth.She used it in her first competitive riding a couple of days ago and absolutely LOVED it. She likes the color and style, and found it to be VERY comfortable, even while wearing it basically all day. If you are looking for a great helmet at a reasonable price, look no further.I also have to say a big "Thank You" to our Seller, Myhoovesandpaws. We had been holding off buying one of these helmets as long as we could, hoping there would be a drop in price by one of the ebay sellers. When that didn't happen, we just went ahead and bought it from Myhoovesandpaws because they had the lowest price. We were surprised that we received the helmet very quickly (it wasn't an ebay Prime item), but found our Seller was actually a small local family-owned and operated company located just about 25 miles from us. Since my wife and I also own a small family business, we were very happy to have unknowingly purchased the helmet from these folks.Well, things got even better. Just a day after we ordered the helmet, which was even before we received it, Myhoovesandpaws dropped their price by $10.00. I reached out to them via email right away, asking if they would be willing to refund the difference to us. Without hesitation they immediately agreed to do so. Just a few days later, they had ebay issue us a refund for that $10.00, plus sales tax. In the process of this, and subsequently, I communicated directly with the owner, Tim. and I found him to be a very knowledgeable and friendly guy. We will definitely be buying equipment from them again in the future.Thanks Again Tim!
