Sometimes my horse sorta nips me. I don't call it bite because it is not hard enough to hurt. Is she playing or being mean? I normally smack her for it.

Sorry I'm so full of questions today! But here's another one.... I know most western riders don't but I think it would boost my confidence and make me feel safer if I got and wore a riding helmet. Does tractor supply carry a reliable brand? And how much should I be ready to pay?
