Kemi O’Donnell is a woman on a crusade - a crusade in honor of her daughter, Christen O’Donnell, who tragically passed away on August 11th, 1998 at the tender age of 12. Even though her horse was only at a walk, and Christen was wearing a traditional velvet hunt cap, Christen sustained a traumatic brain injury.
What O’Donnell did not realize at the time of Christen’s accident was that a hunt cap is simply a piece of apparel. “Riding is the only sport that makes a piece of apparel that looks like a helmet with a hard shell, but is unapproved and not manufactured for head protection,” said O’Donnell. “People do suffer head injuries and die because manufacturers are putting them out there and making them look like helmets.”

May is National Stroke Awareness Month, and in its efforts to increase awareness of strokes and their warning signs, the National StrokeAssociation hopes to greatly reduce or even conquer its effects.
People who have experienced a cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke may experience challenges from deficits resulting from the area of the brain affected by the stroke. Examples of deficits include loss of the use of a limb such as an arm/hand, difficulty finding or understanding words, or balance problems.

The 2013 Rolex/FEI World Cup Final came to an exciting yet familiar conclusion Sunday in front of a packed house in the Scandinavum Arena. In the first of two rounds Course Designer Uliano Vezzani tested 23 horse and rider combinations over a demanding track composed of 12 obstacles that did not yield a single clear round. The number of competitors was then whittled to 17 for the 11 obstacle second round with two riders producing flawless efforts. But for a second consecutive year, four rounds would not be enough to determine a champion and again an American and Swiss competitor would jump-off.
