Outfit for horse back riding?

Question

im going horseback riding and was wondering if short shorts are ok for it (cuz its real warm where im going) or should i go with something else?

Answer 1

Do not, under any circumstances, wear shorts to ride in.  You will get saddle sores like you wouldn't believe.  Wear jeans, and if it's really warm out, a tank top.  As far as footwear, tennis shoes are OK if you don't have anything else, but if you happen to have boots with a 1" or slightly less heel, wear those.  (I don't recommend fashion-type boots though.  And be aware that anything you wear is going to get dirt on it.)

Answer 2

No. Trust me, you definately should wear pants and shoes (not necessarily boots, tennies will do), and depending on the terrain, long sleaves. If its a deep woods trail, definately long sleaves. If its a field or a riding ring, a tee shirt will suffice. Have fun!

Answer 3

Definitely wear pants...preferibly jeans that are stretchy. You will regret wearing shorts and will have a serious wedgie afterwards. Try to wear durable boots with a heel (but not dress shoes). If you have a helmet, wear that, too,because you never know what will happen when riding.

Answer 4

English riding: those stretchy pants and that jacket

Western: Jeans Cool shirt ( Not black that will be SO hot!)

you can also look at stores they will tell you

Answer 5

Not unless you want sores. Yes, its really hot but wear jeans and a shoe with a heal. If you get your feet steped on it HURTSS.

Answer 6

This is the horse racing section.

Answer 7

you should wear layers  defiantly layers, like a tank top over a shortsleve and a sweater. then by time once you get hotter start to take of diffrent layors i do this all the time. For bottoms wear pants. not shorts though maybe capris?

i have not tried this but my friend said it worked.

Answer 8

always wear jeans or long pants. your legs will be rubbing against the leather and that will hurt. plus, you won't be allowed to ride without long pants anyway. wear closed toed shoes like tennis shoes or boots only. no flats or slip-on's.

Answer 9

the guys may like it, but horse riding is a very professional sport, so it would be recommended to wear pants. =]

Answer 10

Wear pants, jeans. If you wear shorts you will regret it.
