Dress for lessons

Of course everyone must wear an approved hard hat. In addition, everyone must wear riding pants, riding boots and clean shirts with sleeves and without holes and inappropriate pictures or words. Riding hats, pants, boots and shirts with sleeves are all a safety issue. They protect the skin from saddle sores, and from scrapes should a fall occur. Riding boots protect the foot if stepped on and are less likely to slip through the stirrup and get caught. In addition, children should ride in clothes like the clothes they will compete in. Chaps stick to saddles better than jodhpurs. Riding in Chaps will not help children develop a tight leg. Finally, showing up at a lesson dressed in chaps, jeans or shorts is an insult to the instructor and a poor representation of our club. The way you dress shows your seriousness about learning and your respect for the instructor. Please make this a personal goal.
