- Long-sleeved, light-colored shirt made of a breathable fabric (such as cotton or linen) to protect your skin from the sun. Avoid dark colors as they absorb heat
Bottoms:
- Long pants made of a durable, comfortable fabric. Jeans or breeches are commonly used for horseback riding because they provide protection and flexibility.
Footwear:
- Sturdy, closed-toe riding boots with a heel. Cowboy boots, paddock boots, or jodhpur boots are all suitable options. Make sure the boots fit snugly to prevent your feet from slipping out of the stirrups.
Headwear:
- A riding helmet certified and well-ventilated to protect your head in case of a fall. Choose a helmet that fits snugly but comfortably so it won't come off during your ride.
Other Gear:
- Sunglasses or riding glasses with UV protection to shield your eyes from the sun and dust.
- A water bottle to stay hydrated.
- Sunscreen to protect exposed skin from sunburn.
- A grooming kit for your horse.
