suitable clothing:
jodphurs
sensible top wear (a bit of protection for shoulders and arms)
boots - protects from a horse standing on your foot, if you were wearing trainers this could damage your foot seriously
hat - protects head if you fall.
You could also ride in blue jeans, as western riders do and any shirt will do, unless you are in a show, in which case there are special shirts, pants, chaps (western and English) and head attire, commonly a helmet for English and a cowboy hat for western.
If the rider is riding the horse they wear a bridle and a saddle and if they are outside they wear a flymask and / or a fly sheet or nothing and if they're in the stall they will wear nothing or a horse blanket.

I am a horse-rider myself but I personally would suggest that you ask your local riding school
Yes, it is important for a rider of any age to wear a helmet whenever they are on a horse. Any horse can scare and react in a surprising way and any rider of any age or ability can fall off or be thrown against objects at any time.
To teach a horse to carry a rider, you will need to start by introducing the horse to wearing a saddle and bridle. Slowly desensitize the horse to the weight of the rider by first leaning over its back and gradually progressing to sitting on its back. Use clear, consistent cues and reward the horse for good behavior to reinforce the desired behavior of carrying a rider.
Eric Lamaze is a french horse rider.
a horse rider is not needed in this case.?
The rider of a horse in a race is called a Jockey.
Wear a helmet. Make sure the cinch is tight, that the reins are properly positioned on the bit, your stirrups are the right length, that the cinch is not pinching the horse, and of course wear your helmet =) You will find you will get into a routine as you progress.
The Horse should work harder than the rider, if the horse is working correctly, this will be the case. The rider does a lot of work to keep the horse going/moving where he should. The rider uses their arms, legs, seat, hands, and weight balance to communicate to the horse. The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
