You get helmets and riding hats in a selection of designs, and you should select the one that is most appropriate for your discipline. It’s clear that riding headgear is selected based on the rider’s own fit, comfort and personal choice. Whatever you select, buy only new stuff and make sure it conforms to BSEN1384, EN1384 or PAS015 safety standards.
The degree of enjoyment of your ride can be affected by your leg wear. Leg wear that either pinches or rubs making chaffing sores is exceedingly uncomfortable. While it would be rather stupid to claim that the right clothes can improve riding talents, it wouldn’t be farfetched to say that inappropriate clothing can definitely hinder a rider’s progress.
Breeches and jodhpurs are a definite option for awfully active riders they’re elastic and made from material that breaths helping to keep riders from overheating.
Riding boots are crucial for a couple of reasons. They come with soles and heels that are constructed to maximise rider safety (a foot caught in a stirrup can have tragic results). The better class of boots are made from tough, lasting material with finely designed treads and heels that stop the rider’s feet from slipping thru the stirrups. Jodhpur boots cover the ankles, while long riding boots go all the way up to slightly below the rider’s knees. It is vital that your boots sit rather comfortably on your legs, as you extensively use your feet and legs for exerting control over the pony when riding.
Riding jackets are available in a big spread of configurations and dimensions. They also come in several types, which is meant for one specific use. Riders have jackets for wet and cold conditions, for warmer and breezier conditions, for showing and for competing. Whatever style of jacket you wear, it should be absolutely comfortable and appropriate for the use. It should give you masses of freedom of movement thru the arms and across the shoulders. It should not have parts flapping around, nor should it have parts or attachments that could snag anywhere.
Chaps are a very popular item of horse riding attire. They are basically a rather brilliant invention, because they fit well over Jodhpur boots and yard boots. They give the rider the sort of additional comfort and grip that long boots do, without giving them the stress that the awfully costly long boots can give because of worries over damage or too much wear and tear. Chaps can be gotten in 2 designs: the full length type that goes from ankle to hip or the half length type that goes from ankle to knee. In chilly weather conditions, chaps can be used for extra warmth. They are made of any of several materials.
