What riding equipment do beginners and advanced riders need?
Anyone who has been bitten by the horse bug for the first time will need quite a bit of equipment. But don't worry: the investment is worth it. Once you've sat on a horse's back, you'll never want to get off. Below you'll find a checklist of what to look for when buying riding equipment for women, menand children. However, it depends on what experience you already have.
Initial Equipment for Riding Beginners
- Riding Helmet A well-fitting, stable riding helmet is basic equipment for every rider. It should enclose the head to prevent serious injuries in case of falls. Important: The riding helmet should not slip, otherwise it will obstruct your vision. In addition, air circulation should be possible to avoid excessive sweating under the helmet. You can also find top brands for riding helmets such as UVEX, Samshield, KEP & Busse in our range.
- Breeches
Breeches for womenand menare also part of the standard equipment. The trousers should be seamless to avoid chafing. Women's breeches made of stretch material have proven successful. Breeches made of flexible, functional materials that adapt optimally to the body shape are also available for men. A special feature of breeches is their seat. A distinction is made between full seat and knee grip. For beginners, breeches with knee grip are initially sufficient. Riding leggings or trousers with mobile phone pockets are now even available. The breeches from the brands: Samshield, Eskadron, Pikeur, Equestrian Stockholm, Spooks or Maximilian Equestrian are particularly popular.
Even as a beginner rider, you shouldn't get into the saddle in sneakers. Riding bootsprevent your trousers from chafing on the saddle flap or your feet from getting caught in the stirrups. The safety aspect plays a decisive role here too. Leather riding boots are super durable, which is why it is definitely worth investing in a suitable riding boot model at this point. Configurations are also not uncommon for riding bootsto meet the individual needs of a rider. To optimally protect your riding boots from external influences, you should store them in a boot bag. Brands such as: Ariat, Cavallo, Mountain Horse, and Suedwind Equestrian, offer a large selection of different models.
The Upgrade for Professionals: Riding Apparel for Experienced Riders
Those who spend a lot of time in the saddle need full seat breeches, which cover the inside of the legs and the contact area on the saddle. They offer ideal comfort and grip in the saddle.
Riding glovesare needed not only in winter, but in every season. They not only keep your hands warm, but also prevent the reins from chafing and you from getting unpleasant blisters. At the same time, they should be breathable and elastic so that they offer you optimal comfort when riding. Our range offers many great models in a wide variety of designs. Renowned brands include: Roeckl, Uvexor Busse.
As an alternative to riding boots, chaps, also known as half chaps, have proven their worth. They are the ideal companion for leisure riding. Chapsare much more flexible in material and thus allow for closer contact with the horse's belly. Show jumpers in particular, who have a strongly bent leg due to the short stirrups, benefit from the flexibility of chaps.
Spurs are curved metal pieces that are attached to the riding bootwith spur straps. They are intended to refine the rider's leg aids. However, they only belong on the feet of experienced ridersand should be used with caution. Our absolute favorites are the spurs from the Sprenger brand. They are not only durable, but also offer excellent value for money.
As soon as you plan longer outings with your horse, safety vestsprotect your entire body from serious falls. The vests have insulating properties and protect you particularly in the area of the spine. Ultimately, you are sitting on a living creature and should always prioritize your safety and the safety of the animal.
