Horse Riding Attire

It’s feasible you have toyed with the idea of riding barefoot, wind curling thru your toes. Maybe you have dreamed about riding barefoot without a saddle, native American style. It probably does seem to be an enchanting dream, but you’ll have to think twice. Barefoot riding can be dangerous.

Irrespective of the discipline you are into, and even if you are into simple pleasure riding, you need to consider appropriate foot wear. I would go so far as to suggest you wear boots even if grooming or feeding your horse. A horse’s hooves can come down with a lot weight, and they are going to do your foot no good at all if it isn’t competently protected.

Most people find the idea of donning riding helmets a drag, but helmets are very simply life savers. They’re not worn for style. A cowboy hat is no replacement for a helmet. You need to consider vented helmets for optimum protection value.

If you are taking part in a show that stipulates hunt seat clothes, you must don a white shirt, or a pinstriped one. You should also sport a hunting cap, breeches, wool riding jacket and dress riding boots. It’s also routine to wear riding gloves. While you can wear jackets and breeches of any dark colour, you must do some research on what colours are in fashion before buying them.

You have to be formally attired for dressage. That suggests a white shirt and a stock tie fastened with a pin, black jacket, tan or white breeches and dress boots. You also need a hunt cap or a helmet. If you’re in saddle seat events, you need dark jodhpurs, jodhpur boots, riding shirt of white and dark jacket.

The garments sported by Western riders has lots to do with their sex. Men like Western shirts, leather belts with buckles of silver, cowboy hats of felt, riding boots, jeans and chaps. Women are usually seen in Western tux shirt, jacket or vest, felt hats, riding boots, and inevitably, jeans with chaps. In high-intensity events, belt buckles and ties are dispensed with.

Children compulsorily must wear regulation safety riding helmets, whether they are pleasure riding or competing. They should not be sporting cowboy hats.
