CLOTHING

It is a good idea to bring a waterproof coat, as lessons continue regardless of the weather. If you have not ridden before, full length comfortable trousers, leggings or loose fitting jeans, boots or shoes with a small heel or wellies (no trainers which can slip through stirrups). Shoulders should be covered. Riding hats can be hired. However, after your first few lessons, it is a good idea to purchase your own hat which should be to a minimum standard PAS 015 (2011) and a VG1 01.040 (2014-12) all with BSI Kitemark. It is also advisable to purchase proper riding boots and a body protector for jumping. All clients must wear a riding hat approved to current BHS Standard whenever participating in riding activities or leading horses. All clients are asked to wear suitable footwear and to wear gloves.
