What kind of shoes should you where when ridding horses?
Riding boots. They should not be too wide, so that they do not get stuck in the stirrup in an emergency. You can choose between boots with treads versus smooth bottomed shoes. The smooth are the safest, because they easily slide out in case of an emergency.
Where can you bay horse riding boots?
I would reccomend Dover Saddlery
Should you ride your horse on a road barefoot?
The answer to this will vary. You can ride a horse on a road barefoot, provided the horses hooves are strong enough to handle it. If however the horse becomes sore or chips/wears down it's hooves too quickly you would do better to put boots or shoes on the horse for road riding.
What is something that would help pervent injury on a horse when riding?
It depends on what kind of injury. Bell Boots would prevent injury to the hooves. So would shoes. And leg wraps would prevent injury to the tendons in the lower leg. But like I said, it depends on what kind of injury you are triyng to prevent.
What type of boot for a horse would be good for all-purpose riding?
For all-purpose riding, a good type of boot for a horse would be a sturdy leather boot with a low heel that provides both grip and support for the rider's foot. These types of boots are comfortable for long hours in the saddle and offer good protection for the rider's feet.
What equipment must a horse rider wear while mounting a horse?
First of all, you would need to wear long pants, NO shorts. There are special riding pants you can buy, called jodphurs, but if you would prefer not to go out and buy anything, then it would be exceptable to wear jeans as well. For your feet you will need boots with heels. (They should have a covered toe.) if you would want to go out and buy the "real" riding boots from a tack shop, there are 2 variations, paddock boots, and tall boots. Paddock boots would be better for lessons and just hanging around the barn, while tall boots are more commonly used for shows. Another helpful thing to have would be chaps or half chaps. You do not need these, but they look better while your riding, and help your legs grip to the horse more. Half chaps only come up to your knees and whole chaps, oof course, come all the way up to your waist. The last thing you would need to ride, would be a helmet. Your helmet should be ASTM/SEI certified, to insure proper safety and you shoould NEVER use a bike helmet. If you would ever think about showing, then the proper attire would be, tall boots, or garters and paddock boots (depending on your age garters = 12 and under), a show shirt (come in many colors), a show jacket, jodphurs, and a helmet. When mounting, you need to mount on the left side. DO NOT GRAB THE SADDLE TO PULL YOU UP. It can cause back problems. If the horse is tall, you may need someone to give you a leg up or stand on a mounting block. Anyways, put your left leg in the saddle & grab the horse's mane. Then get on. Don't worry about hurting the horse by grabbing it's mane- he won't notice. (horses have no feeling in their manes) Make sure your girth is tight & the front of the saddle is over the whithers.This is for English riding, western riding doesn't have the same tack or attire as English. Boots Riding helmet If you are "buying" a ride on a horse you have to wear a helmet and sign a waiver excusing the company from all liability of injuries. But if you are riding privatly you don't HAVE to wear anything but its a good idea to wear a helmet and boots/sand shoes. And I do suggest as an Advanced rider to wear long pants Horsegal. A helmet and shoes with a heel is basically all that is needed...and of course clothes!
Would you die in horse riding or kayaking more?
you are more likely to die horse riding.
Can you wear vans as cowboy shoes?
You should. Cowboy boots are riding boots, built so that it is easy to slip into the stirrups and keep your foot in the stirrups without your foot slipping out like what would happen if you had boots with no defined heels on them. Cowboy boots are best for Western saddles. For English saddles, though, you may need a different type of riding boot that is built for English riding saddles. There's nothing dangerous about having the proper footwear for riding horses. It's actually more dangerous if you do NOT have the proper footwear for riding in the saddle because it could be really bad if your foot suddenly slipped through the stirrups and you couldn't get your foot out if you had to get off your horse right away.
Where might one find directions for horse riding games?
One may find directions for horse riding games at most riding schools that offer classes in horse riding. These schools typically also take part in a variety or horse riding games and competitions, so would be knowledgeable when it comes to horse riding games.
What is the best thing to wear horse riding on a sunny day?
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.
