These lessons tell you about the right attire to wear for horse riding. Starting with the boots first. The knowledge of wearing the right shoes is important because the risk of getting stuck with your foot in the stirrup is a common danger when riding a horse. If you are wondering what a stirrup is it’s basically a pair of metal hooks at the side of the saddle that supports the rider’s foot. You can get pulled behind the horse and get seriously injured if you fall off when your foot is caught in the stirrup. That’s why wearing boots with a heel and a covered ankle is essential to prevent this from happening. Safety stirrups, if you want to be on the safe side, may also be a nice option. These safety stirrups open up if by any chance should you fall off.
