San Diego, CA - July 2, 2009 - Troxel LLC, the worldwide leader in ASTM/SEI-certified

the most comprehensive and up-to-date collection of equestrian helmet safety
information available online. Organized into categories for adults, kids, and
educators, the site provides an assortment of information, games, and resources
designed to engage equestrian riders, promote safe helmet practices and
ultimately reduce the occurrences and severity of head injuries.
"We are excited to deliver a site that is both educational and fun that
appeals to riders of all ages," said Shay Timms, CEO of Troxel. "The Safety
Resource Center gives us a unique opportunity to share necessary helmet
information with the community in new ways and we are excited to see what the
community will add."
Highlights of the new site include:

HeadSmart Blog
Troxel's Safety Resource Center incorporates Web 2.0 technologies, allowing
visitors to interact and contribute their own perspectives on safety and helmet
use. Their stories and comments appear in the "HeadSmart Blog," where riders
can recount firsthand experiences of "kicks falls and other close calls."
The new website was designed by Teneleven Interactive (http://www.1011i.com),
an Internet marketing agency based in San Diego, CA.
"We hope the Safety Resource Center will bring people together and help
raise awareness of the importance of head protection," said Timms. "Including
riders' actual stories, told in their own words, adds a level of impact and a
fresh perspective to the safety center. We want to ensure that their stories are
at the heart of everything we are doing to create safe products."
