Essential equipment needed to ride horses
Riders need a boot with a heel. A new rider needs Paddock Boots. They are leather boots with either a lace or zipper that come up above the ankle and offer good stability and protect the foot from the horses hooves. Riders will wear one or two layers of socks with these boots depending sometimes, on weather conditions. In snowy winter, some riders tuck in toe warmers. Ask around for some gently used ones. Some barns have a pile of donated boots and clothing.
Jodhpurs, or "jods", are the pants that most riders purchase. The leg of the pant is secured via a elastic strap beneath the foot. These "jods" may have a cuff on the bottom and pass over the boot top and the elastic is placed beneath the boot bottom next to the heel. Beige is a popular color. Britches are a pant made for an advanced rider who is showing a horse. They are worn in conjunction with "tall boots".
Tall boots are typically tall and black and are a requirement of some disciplines when showing horses. They are either the stovepipe variety that you pull up and pull off or they zipper up the back. These are very expensive boots that need to be maintained and care for. They are sized to the riders foot, calf and leg length so that they can help grab the horse's belly.
Beginner riders need to dress in layers. If it is too hot, they need light layers or a single layer and some sun screen. If it is cold, they need to wear some light and medium layers and be ready with a thick jacket after they complete their lesson or ride. Gloves are a must to keep the hands from getting blisters on the reins, improve grip of the reins and then keep the hands warm in cold weather. There are a variety of gloves that can be thick or thin.
There are a variety of helmets on the market. They range in protection, price, size, style and shape. Some are oval and some are round. Be sure to have one property sized and be sure to check with the instructor before you use it. Understand if a item can be returned before it is used. Use your trainer as a reference.
Some barns order barn jackets, vests and hats. Of you think you could be there a while, order a size up to give your child some growing room and give yourself a break on purchasing another new jacket. When your child starts to ride more frequently, you may also want to pack a cooler with cold water bottles and a snack. If they bring a cell phone, they have to remember to bring the cell phone home!
Seek out consignment shops in your area. Post a note on the board asking if anyone has old boots, see if the barn has any inventory of boots from their students. Check Ebay Do not compromise on helmets.
I also advise taking a black marker pen and mark your child's helmet. Helmets are expensive and sometimes a child can put them down on a table and run off. Too much merchandise could stolen and sold on line these days. Better be safe than sorry.
