This entirely depends on if you are showing or just out for a leisurely trail ride.

For a trail ride you'll want jeans with no inside seam on the legs, boots with a low heel, a long sleeve shirt (thin in summer, thick in winter.) Socks, and a helmet. Although it is customary for western riders to use a cowboy hat, it is not safe to ride in anything other than an approved riding helmet.

The clothing for a show will vary somewhat depending on which class you are competing in and it is best to consult the rule books for that show or division.

When horseback riding on a public road, you should always wear a helmet, regardless of age. It's just the safer thing to do, as you cannot predict when your horse will spook or shy at something. If you want an actual age, though, I'd say probably 21.


How did english horseback riding start?

-English riding is not only in England -Its really fun though -A common activity in English riding is showjumping in which you are judged on how fast you complete the course and how many errors you made. I do this. -another activity in English riding is dressage which is a very diciplined riding technique where you are judged on a variety of things like being precise and behaviour of your horse. - saddle and bridle etc. is different to western -English riders wear helmets/hard hats rather than cowboy hats like western -You also wear breeches, chaps, boots and carry a crop -If you are thinking of participating be prepared to fall off, be bitten etc. but its worth it in the end when you know how to ride. -The jumps and lines into jumps all have different names -There is a wide variety of horses used for English riding. Hope this helps
