Do you know I live in a walking horse State and I watch it for many times. Only I will tell you, I don't understand it very well how they judge. I guess i'm not good at it. My daughter's friend who is 11 years old is good at it. She practice every summer and ride a horse .Good thing she has some choices where she can practice and not owning a horse as of now.

Before you ride a horse and practice you need to shop some equestrian riding apparel for protection and this is a must when you're in this kind of sport. My father-in-law is a horse lover and he own a couple horses. He taking care the horse as his own kids as he shop some of the things that his horse needed, and he maintain the stall cleanliness, vaccinations and several other items. No wonder why my daughter has a heart of pony.
Shopping: equestrian riding apparel:
Riding Helmets- is a must when riding a horse enable to protect the rider's head if falls off a horse or accidentally hit in the head by a horse’s hoof.
Breeches,Jodhpurs & Jeans-You have to choose what is comfortable to you while riding the horse.
Riding Boots and chaps-It is important to choose the proper foot wear while riding the horse to protect your feet.
Show shirts and coats-You have to follow what type of shirt and coat you need to buy during the show or practice. Some have rules to follow.
Riding Gloves-one of the most important to buy when you consider this kind of sports. Riding gloves help you to avoid getting blisters and to get better embrace on reins.
i guess it's really important to get a good riding apparel both for the rider's safety and comfort. i know i wouldn't ever ride a horse, but i really admire people who do. and all those equestrians look really good with their get-up.
