Today's riding helmets are safer and more comfortable than any in the history of riding. Light-weight plastics and shock-absorbing materials help make riding much safer. New laws have been passed and junior riders (usually under18) have to wear safety helmets before they can ride in horse shows, parades, rodeos, gymkana, ect.

Ok well as the saying goes get back on the horse. If riding is something that you are serious about the feeling to ride will overpower your fear of falling off again and if that's not the case and you still feel insecure about riding ride an older or more relaxed horse that is somewhat to easy for you to be riding and eventually you will feel comfortable riding again!
