Proper riding attire when you come in for your riding lessons / riding activities.

Most of us does not taking it seriously regarding what to wear when engaging in horse riding and its related activities.

This time I would like to suggest that each and everyone of our members to wear proper attire when they come for riding at Ekuestrian Sarawak. Just a simple but should be considered proper way of dressing / wearing attire. No more wearing short pants and slippers, please!






The proper way of wearing a riding helmet is as below :




What shoes to wear ? I would recommend you to ride with a pair of riding boot if you have one but if you do not, you should at least get a pair of shoes with heels and get a pair of chap.

                                                          Rider wearing a boot.

                                                                      Ankle boot / shoe





                                                                         Ankle boot





 
                                                                              Chap



 
 This is how you wear the chap with an ankle boot/shoe.


So now we go to what type of shirt and trousers to use. For the shirt, I would choose the one that is comfortable for example a nicely fit T-Shirt. Not too small, too big or oversize. We used to see from the photos or magazines that riders wears jackets, thick clothing or suits but we must remember that their cold climates may be the factor or they were in the competitions or shows. So, here in our climate just wear your nicely fit shirts (T-Shirts, Polo for example). 

For the trousers, get the jodhpurs if you can afford to have one. Its quite pricey but not too expensive and it is very useful & comfortable for riding. Stretchable jeans / trousers are just OK for occasional riding. Trousers should be made from materials/textiles that are slippery and too thin.

                                                              Riding breeches or jodhpurs

Safety vest/jacket is also desirable item to have if you ride regularly. Some riders prefer to wear gloves while others like me prefer my bare hands without gloves.

Why do horse riding lessons cost so much?

Lesson fees vary by several reasons : region or area, type of discipline (or type of riding – western, english), duration of the lesson, and the number of students participating. Most centers providing beginner lessons keep horses that are safe and appropriate for children or beginners. These lesson horses (horses or ponies that being used specially to teach riding lessons) are tasked with teaching new students how to care for and ride horses. Income from lessons fees is used to buy feed for the lesson horses, pay for their regular medical, dental, and hoof care, buy and repair equipment. Often good beginner lesson horses may be older and require special feeds and supplements to help them stay in top condition. The average cost to provide care & feeding for one healthy horse is around  RM450.00 – RM600.00 per month. In addition to feed and water, horses need supplements (essential vitamins & minerals), vaccinations, regular treatment against parasites, annual ...
