Dressing for Horseback Riding

Dressing for Horseback Riding

Dressing for a horseback ride doesn’t require much effort, but you should be aware of what not to wear.

 

High heels should be discarded among the footwear options. The terrain in the countryside is very irregular, and there may be accidents when walking, so it is not recommended.

 

Shorts may be considered comfortable clothes, but in addition to the fact that if you don’t have repellent you will have a bad time, when riding a horse it will be uncomfortable to rub against the animal’s fur, which is thick and itchy.

 

Flip-flops, like shorts, are closely related to vacations and comfortable clothing, but for horseback riding in the countryside they are the last option, right next to heels. They need comfortable but also practical shoes that protect you when walking and riding.

 

Now that you know what not to wear, we tell you what you can wear, and what’s ideal for a horseback ride: cotton t-shirt, or shirt with ventilation system, fresh, jeans or cargo pants, sneakers or trekking shoes, insect repellent and of course sunscreen.

    How to Get Your Horse to Trust and Respect You

    Gaining trust and respect from your horse is essential to have a well-trained horse. Keep in mind, however, that your horse also deserves your trust and respect as well. This mutual trust and respect will ensure that you establish and maintain a healthy relationship with your horse. With daily practice of groundwork exercises and consistent, firm interactions, you will be well on your way to having a respectful, trustworthy, and obedient horse. Rub your horse’s body Doing this will let the horse know that he can be comfortable and relaxed around you. Be mindful of areas where the horse does not like to be touched, like the stomach, eyes, and mouth.   Lead from the lead position. This means that you will be walking ahead of your horse. By being led from this position, your horse will learn that you are dominant and that your personal space should be respected. Be assertive, yet friendly, when establishing the distance to be kept between you and your horse. Decide the speed at which you and your horse will walk, as well as the path of your walk. If your horse steps into your space or crowds you while leading, gently push him away. By doing this, you’re telling him that you are in charge and you need his respect.   Walk around without the lead rope. This is an alternative approach to leading with the rope. Try this after the horse has learned how to be led. If he follows you, he has accepted you. If not, gently coax him to you. Horses are natural followers, they will follow you when you lead them. The horse should trust you and respect your space.   For more information:…
