What should be worn to riding lessons?

Riders should wear at least an ankle-high boot with a smooth sole and a 1/2 inch heel. Boots may be lace-up, zipper, or elastic and may also be regular cowboy boots

For rider safety hiking-boot type soles and sneakers (rubber/treaded) are not recommened!           

Helmets must fit properly. With the proper  helment it should not be possible to slide  over one's eyes.

Riding pants (jodhpurs or breeches) can help with proper seat in the saddle and have  grip knee pads; fashionable fun colors and are comfortable for riding.  Jeans are OK!

Here are some tack stores that can help you with purchasing riding apparel and safety equipment.
