**A note about hair bows: Children
are required to wear helmets to ride
the ponies, so we suggest that girls not
wear pony tails, pig tails, hair bows,
hair bands, etc. that would interfere
with helmet placement. Riding
helmets have a fit similar to a bicycle
helmet. Pony tails and pig tails that
will not interfere with the helmet.
