The equestrian apparel you must have

Most riders consider jodhpurs, paddock boots, a riding shirt, and helmet as the basic essentials needed because they provide a rider plenty of freedom of movement while also allowing the rider to feel the horse and the saddle. Equine Couture and The Tailored Sportsman both offer high quality jodhpurs that offer durability and a classic, tailored look.

Extra apparel

Many English riders are also seen wearing short, trim riding gloves. In the show ring, all English riders, except in some dressage classes, are required to wear an ASTM/SEI approved riding helmet as part of their regular horse riding apparel.

You may want to invest in some extra gear that will help make your riding experience even more productive. In addition to the essentials, you might consider riding gloves to prevent injuries, keep your hands clean, and provide a better grip.
