Riding Apparel

Correct riding attire is encouraged for the safety of our riders. For the first lesson, a boot-type shoe, narrow in the toe with less than a 1" heel are suitable, along with well fitted jeans. An SEI certified riding helmet is mandatory and can be provided for your scheduled ride. Sneakers, sandals and heels are discriminated against for the safety of the rider. Clothes should be well fitted and dangly jewelry should be left at home.
As you progress in riding you may want to consider purchasing some items off the following list:

Riding Breeches and jodhpur pants: Riding breeches are specifically designed for equestrian activities, designed to protect riders leg from rubs.
SEI riding helmet: An Equestrian helmet is worn when riding horses. This type of helmet is specially designed to protect the rider's head if a person falls off a horse.
Half chaps or full chaps: Designed to protect the legs.
Riding gloves: Protect hands.
Paddock boots or tall boots: Riding boots are boots made to be used for horseback riding. The classic boot comes high enough up the leg to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider, has a sturdy toe to protect the rider's foot when on the ground, and has a distinct heel to prevent the foot from sliding through the stirrup. The sole is smooth or lightly textured to avoid being caught on the tread of the stirrup in the event of a fall.
A hairnet to neatly tuck your hair away under your helmet
