Appropriate Riding Clothing is important for both the safety and comfort of rider. Riding boots, riding helmets and hats, road safety equipment, body protectors, jodhpurs, chaps, gloves, jackets, stocks and whips

For working around horses a sturdy boot is required, that will offer your feet some protection from crushing injury, along with a heel suitable to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrup irons whilst riding.

Gloves offer you warmth in winter, grip when riding, and protect your hands when otherwise handling horses.

Jodhpurs (a trouser) are designed specifically for riding, with padded knee patches for wear, seams on the outside to prevent rubbing, and sizes to suit just about every shape and size of rider, and also flexible materials that offer freedom of movement.

Coats should be well fitting and not interfere with the rider's movement, particularly around the shoulders, and with quilted and waterproof coats available, you can be covered for most weather conditions.
Competition clothing varies depending on what activity you compete in.
Standard competition clothing includes plain white or cream jodhpurs; a shirt and tie (or a stock with stock pin), along with long black leather boots.
Special types of jacket will depend on the sport and level you have achieved within that sport.

This can range from a tweed hacking jacket for showing, show jumping, dressage and eventing, to a black, blue, green or red show jacket for showing, show jumping, dressage, and eventing, or top hat and tails for dressage and top level eventing.
Equipment such as whips, spurs, stopwatches and number tabards will come down to the competition rules regarding suitability and what the rider feels is appropriate.
