What to Wear
Horseback riding is best enjoyed when you are wearing the proper riding attire.
For the safest and most comfortable experience, please wear:
- Close toed shoes. Boots are best, tennis shoes okay. No thick treads!
- Long pants
- No bicycle helmet, we will provide Equestrian Certified riding helmets.
If you choose to buy your own riding equipment one day, here are some recommended brands:
- Ariat or Ovation cowboy or paddock boots.
- Troxel, Ovation, or Tipperary riding helmet.
- Piper, Horze, or kerrits, FULL SEAT silicone breeches.
