I'm kind of worried Gaga is going to get hurt on her horse

It's not something that crossed my mind but after reading the OP I do agree that she needs to take necessary precaution (and properly) when doing stuff  Same thing if she was riding a skateboard without a helmet or driving a car without the seat belt - go ahead and enjoy what you want to do but safety first

I agree it just seems like an unnecessary risk. If something goes wrong she can be horribly injured, it just doesn't seem worth it to have no safety equipment. .

Exactly. I don't understand why so many fans on here are trying to make me feel like an idiot for being worried about her. Its more than a valid concern.

Yeah I'm not quite sure where that came from  You're asking for her to be more cautious and careful, not freaking out and being like "DON'T RIDE HORSES, DON'T GO OUTSIDE!"

It's a valid concern, but I'm way more worried about her riding a motorcycle period than riding a horse at a leisurely pace on her property...or stage diving during the artRave...or a ton of other dangerous stunts she's done on stage over the years. I mean, she doesn't wear a helmet on stage! Lol

I was actually really surprised nobody else made a thread about this first.

Although she is riding at a slow pace, horses are unpredictable and can start running or lunging if they get scared. She has done dangerous things before but I still feel like her stage stunts were more controlled since there was no animal involved.

I mean Christopher Reeves got paralyzed after a horse accident so it could happen, but try not to worry

Yep, it could happen. A car could hit the motorcycle she is on too...or she could fall off the stage and break her neck or seriously hurt herself. People fall and severely injure themselves from being up on ladders at home all the time. 

You can worry about people all day long, but adults are going to make their own choices. We all make our choices.

I'm not extremely worried but I would rather have her try to he safer, but I'm sure Interscope had the horse trained extremely well and everything so it should be fine

Omg hahaha I actually loled when I ready the title

Christopher Reeves had on a helmet, protective vest and all the proper riding equipment when he was thrown on his head during a completion. Yes, anything is possible. Gaga could fall on stage and break her neck and be paralyzed. I'm sure if she was riding in an equestrian competition like Reeves was doing, she would wear a helmet and the proper protective gear. 

And people have unfortunately died in car crashes even with a seatbelt on but we still wear them don't we? There's nothing wrong with taking precaution where it's needed. Just because you can get injured even with protective gear doesn't discredit the fact that it exists for a reason. Wearing it can make the biggest difference and the thing is you don't know when it will come in handy, so there's really nothing wrong with worrying about Gaga's safety and I don't know why most people are trying to dismiss OP's reasoning to do so.

Oh you mean like the late Christopher Reeve? Noooooo!

Lets be honest though, the horse is probably worth $100,000 and was bred and trained by the best in the world or something ridiculous. It probably has a better temperament than her fanbase.

This was exactly what I was gonna say. I'm pretty sure this horse is worth more that our lives and that it was trained by professional people. They know Gaga is an amateur rider. They're  not gonna give her some wild horse. But I understand why you're concerned tho. I guess you can never be too safe and she should follow your advice.

Well, it is the law...and you are in a vehicle that is surrounded by other vehicles, all going at a fast speed, weaving in and out in front of each other. Gaga is on a leisurely ride. Other two ton vehicles are not coming at her and she isn't going at a fast speed down a highway. Two different situations there. 

Yes, a helmet is recommended, just like it is recommended when riding a bike, skating or skateboarding. Like everything, most adults consider the surroundings and purpose. Are you riding your bike through a park or around campus or are you out on a road? Are you doing tricks on a skateboard or are you at a roller skating rink? Are you skiing down a mountain or are you sleding down a hill in a park? Adults make choices, most of the time considering the situation.
