EASY TEN POINTS! Horseback riding clothing question?
I am going to start horseback riding and am not sure what pants I need to wear. It is cold where I live now. I was wondering if I should buy riding tights, breeches, or jodphurs(i’m 14)? Also if you have any other helpful information for a begining rider like me please tell me. Thanks ahead of time.
you will want a jacket (not too long), breeches/jeans (depending your sport), and paddock/tall boots. if you get paddock boots, you’ll want half chaps to prevent your legs from getting pinched by the stirrup leathers and chaps are grippier. you don’t want a jacket too long or else it will get caught under your body when you ride, and it can be annoying.
be sure to wear lots of layers; it’ll help you keep you warm when you ride
and don’t forget toe heaters! they help!
Anyone wear tall equestrian riding boots for streetwear?
On an impulse I bought a pair of used tall ridingboots )without the laces). They are REALLY broken in. Am I alone in wearing them for just street wear? Also since they are so soft I lke to wear them barefoot.
I would, but every pair I see is so expensive. I like them, though. I hope to buy a pair soon.
what are the best brands for riding apparel and tack?

go for Ariat, they are by far the comfiest boots ever and they have a lot of different stuff
and also Roeckl gloves, omg they’re amazing, so comfy, fits your hand perfectly, not big and clumsy like other gloves, they dont have a website but go to your local Mary’s Tack or somthing like it and they’ll probly have it
