Each rider finds a combination of pants and other equipment to maximize the experience.  Trial and error is best.

Answer 5

if your just ridding around the paddock/arena its fine i wear jeans, trackpants, shorts anything as long as your legs are covered so the dont rub on the saddle (that hurts)

Answer 6

First I think you mean Arabian horses.

I wouldn't wear sweat pants, but tight jeans instead.

Answer 7

so long as you're wearing long pants, the type doesn't really matter.  A fitted leg is better than a big loose material, but it's really not a big deal.  Wear what you have.  Where I taught lessons we made no requirements about the type of pants.  the reason that you need to wear pants is because it really hurts if your legs are rubbing against the leather saddle.  Sweatpants will provide some protection so they will be fine until you show your mom that you're really going to stick with riding and need real riding pants.
