You are one of the lucky ones if you are able to find a way to combine what you love with what you do for a living. People that love horses really, really love horses, and it’s easy to understand why. They help keep you in shape, improve your mental well-being, and give you a sense of responsibility, all while being gorgeous, majestic creatures. As a riding instructor, you have a tremendous amount of responsibility! Not only do you have to look after the horses, but you also have your students’ safety to consider.
While some of the horse gear (such as a helmet and boots) that riders need is obvious, there are other items that are just as necessary although they may not be quite as apparent. This list can help you and your students to remember things that may have otherwise been forgotten.
Horses bestow upon us responsibility, exercise, and a sense of calm. The right gear can provide a rider with peace of mind, allowing them to enjoy the experience without worrying about the equipment. Whether looking for a new pair of half chaps or a way to stay warm while mucking stalls, these items can help. A horse can offer a quiet friendship and trust, and lives are enriched for time spent with them.
