Are horseback riding lessons expensive?

• I know the price of the lessons themselves but do you need special clothing??

• Answer:

  If you're just starting out, you won't need to buy everything. However, you should get 1. a horseback riding helmet (no bike helmets since these won't hold out if you fall off)-These range anywhere from around 30 or 40 dollars to over 200 dollars. you won't need anything too fancy. 2. riding boots- You can ride in sneakers, but the boots are really a lot more comfortable, and they help you keep your foot in the stirrups better. 3. Riding Breeches- These are special riding pants that are supposed to fit really tight. You can ride in jeans if you want, but once you try these, you'll find they're a lot more comfortable. * In addition to all of this, you can also purchase your own riding crop (whip) and spurs (once you know how to use them). SmartPakEquine.com is a really good website. you can also order their catalog. They have a ton of stuff from horsey gear to your own gear from a lot of different brands. Hope this helps!
