It depends on the discipline. In western you should always wear smooth bottom boots so your foot can easily slide out of the stirrup in case of an emergency.

Because they wont get caught on the saddle and they are just nicer to wear. It's so they won't get caught in your stirrup and they slide out easier and if you wear like joggers, since there is no tongue in horse riding boots it won't get caught in the stirrup.

What shoes are appropiate for horse riding?

The best kind of shoe to wear while riding is a boot with a small heel - about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. If you are riding bareback, or on a saddle without stirrups, You can wear tennis shoes, but the heels on riding boots help prevent your foot getting stuck in the stirrup, in the case of an accident. If you are a serious horseman/horsewoman, you should purchase some paddock boots, or perhaps field boots. For those who compete, the best options are dress boots, field boots, or paddock boots WITH chaps. However, there may be certain rules as to what you can wear.

Can you wear an iPod while your riding?

If you mean riding a horse: DON'T DO IT!!!!! If you wear an ipod while riding, you could not hear noises of things that could spook your horse, or comments from your instructor. You could be severely injured. You would put yourself, the horse, and the people around you at risk. Save your ipod for working out or riding in a car(not driving).
