Prepare for Your Horse Ride

Horseback riding is a very enjoyable experience, but before you mount a horse, it’s recommended to acquire the proper attire for an enjoyable and safe ride.

Riding Helmet

A riding helmet is arguable the most important equipment needed. This helps prevent serious head injuries in the event of fall.

Gloves

Gloves should always be worn, regardless of weather. They provide warmth, good gripping on reins and rope, and protect hands if an unexpected fall occurs.

Breeches

Breeches are specifically designed to allow for free movement while riding and prevents chafing that can be caused by constant rubbing against the saddle.

Footwear

Riding boots should have heels that are an inch high to help prevent slipping through the stirrup. They should also be sturdy enough to take a knock or hit.
