Horseback Riding Lessons
REQUIRED EQUIPMENT
All Students are required to wear the following equipment
Beginner Attire/Equipment:
First 1-4 lessons at a max, students can opt to lesson in basic "closet attire" as seen below. The tack shops listed below often have packages for the beginner rider. We have approved equestrian helmets.
Closet Attire:
For your equestrian lesson, it is important to wear the following items:
1. Boots: Please wear boots with a 1-1/2 inch rubber heel. Blundstone and rubber boots are great options.
2. Flexible Pants: Wear long pants that are not see-through.
3. Polo or T-shirt: Wear a shirt that covers your shoulders and torso/chest. Tank tops and tube tops are not allowed.
4. Coat/Sweater: Wear a fitted coat or sweater and avoid hoods if possible. Layering up is recommended during cooler months!
5. Equestrian Helmet: You can borrow a helmet from the riding school for a maximum of four lessons.
Beginner-Novice Equestrian Attire:
1. Paddock or Field boots: These come in lace-up, Blundstone or rubber styles.
2. Half-chaps: They should sit just below the knee and fit snugly as they stretch over time.
3. Riding Pants: They must be non-see-through. Western riding pants or jeans are acceptable.
4. Shirts: Polo or Equestrian Sun-type shirts are recommended. Sweaters or coats, preferably without a hood, are also good options.
5. Riding gloves: It is advisable to avoid the cheapest option as they won't last long!
6. ASTM-approved Riding helmet: Wearing a helmet while riding is highly recommended. A helmet cover is necessary to keep your helmet scratch-free. It is essential to note that helmets expire five years after the manufacturing date located in the helmet.
7. ASTM-approved Crash Vest: While not mandatory, wearing an ASTM-approved crash vest is highly recommended.
To progress in horseback riding, students must obtain the essential gear and equipment that promote both safety and skill enhancement. It is crucial to obtain these items promptly when your coach requests them, as any delay could disrupt your progress and or jeopardize your safety. Make it a priority to secure your equipment promptly to prevent adverse outcomes.

🐴 At Valiant Equestrian, our horses are treated like family. All of our school horses are either active show horses or lovingly semi-retired show horses, and each receives properly fitted tack and equipment to ensure comfort and safety. They receive regular veterinarian and farrier care, blankets, massage, and chiropractic support as needed, along with top-quality grain, hay, and supplements. Each horse enjoys comfortable stalls, daily turnout, and a carefully managed workload — and when the time comes, they are lovingly retired with us, not discarded.
