General clothing

We recommend a long-sleeved shirt, a jacket that is fastened so that it doesn’t flap, or a sweatshirt for riding.

Jodhpurs are trousers specially designed for riding; however a pair of strong trousers without a seam on the inside leg will be suitable for beginners. (Seams can pinch your leg while in the saddle).
