Grace, lightness, freedom ... There is no epithet in the world that would more accurately describe all the elegance and beauty of a horse. Long since these animals have been wonderful helpers of man and his faithful friends. Perhaps that's why many decades after they ceased to be the main carriers of people, communication with horses did not stop. People continue to practice equestrian sports or simply make horseback riding. But compared to the inhabitants of the 18th and 19th centuries, modern people are no longer hindered from enjoying communication with their beloved animals. And first of all it concerns equipment.
Clothes for Equestrian Sports
Modern lovers of horseback riding or professional sports excellently raise that the interaction of a man and such a beautiful animal as a horse should be as comfortable as possible to one and the other side. This is why equipping for equestrian sports is created from such materials that protect both the human and the animal itself. If you look into the wardrobe of a man who spends a lot of time with horses, you can make a list of the attributes that he needs:
- shoes;
- riding boots;
- riding bridges;
- clothing for competitions;
- vest;
- jacket;
- leggings;
- gloves;
- trenchers;
- whip;
- helmet;
- spurs;
- protective waistcoat.
If you drop the extra equipment, then the equipment of the professional will be almost the same as the clothes for horseback riding. Lovers of communication with horses often rack their brains, what to wear for the most comfortable pastime. Experienced athletes recommend paying attention to several important details of clothing that must necessarily be present in the wardrobe:
- Breeches for riding . This special attribute does not constrain movements, excludes the friction of the body against the saddle, and also protects against hooks for equestrian equipment.
- Helmet . It is recommended not only to professional sportsmen, but also to amateurs. Safely protects the head from injury. By the way, children's clothing for equestrian sports is only available with helmets. Children without head protection for horse rides and classes are usually not allowed.
- Jacket . Must have a design with no unnecessary parts that could catch on horse equipment. Also, it should not constrain movements. The professional jackets on the side have cuts in order for the rider to sit more comfortably in the saddle.
- Boots or boots with leggings . When choosing shoes, special attention should be paid to the sole - it should be smooth with a low heel, and the socks are slightly narrowed. Kragi is some kind of boot tops that are worn on the shoes and protect the leg from scuffs and dirt. They are usually made of leather, suede or nubuck. The most convenient option for those who are just beginning to master the skill of the rider, it's leggings with shoes.
- Gloves . This accessory is also important and must be carefully studied before buying. To select them it is necessary on a season that the occasion always was felt by hands and did not slip. It is also desirable to choose gloves that are fastened on the wrist.
Clothes for equestrian sport have a lot of requirements and features. But even if it is just an ordinary walk on horseback, the items of the wardrobe should be comfortable and practical. You can make up your image from what is in your home cupboard, but there is another option - contact a special store of equestrian clothing or at worst hire such an outfit. The main thing is that after communicating with the horses in memory there is a pleasant feeling of delight, and not sad memories of how clothes rubbed the body and hampered the movement.
