There are many different styles of riding... from the English riding style (Jumping, cross country, racing, dressage, polo...) to the Western riding style (Barrel racing, pole bending, western pleasure, trail classes, reining, cutting, calf roping..) Depending on the style you ride, riding can be different. For most riders who try and truly love their horses, riding is an amazing feeling. It feels as if you're flying..like you are connected to the horse. You should research the riding styles..they're different.
To some degree, this will depend upon the style of riding you are doing (English or Western), the ambient temperature and your own comfort. However, you would typically wear long pants (jeans for Western, jodhpurs or riding pants for English), appropriate closed-toe riding boots (cowboy-style for Western, riding boots for English) and a short or long sleeved shirt depending upon temperature.

The style is characterized by a large, wide saddle with a moderately prominent cantle and a horn; the stirrups are set lower as compared to English riding styles. The horse's gait should be slow and smooth - there is no posting at the trot in Western riding, and the canter is slower and called a lope.
