Equestrianism is a gentleman's sport that showcases elegance and nobility through the perfect coordination of horse and rider. Although there is little variation in equestrian attire, there are high demands and importance placed on clothing for the sake of ceremony and safety. The stylish gear worn by the dashing riders isn't merely for visual enjoyment, but is also a vital safety measure.
Equestrian show apparel is similar to a tight-fitting casual suit, evolved from hunting attire, and exudes an air of gentility when worn. This clothing is a must for show jumping competitions. Dark equestrian jacket is the most common, but some countries' equestrian organizations require the individual to have won a national championship before allowing them to wear a red rider's suit. For the dressage competition, the rider must wear a tailcoat and top hat, adding a touch of courtliness. Men generally wear light-colored shirts and white ties, while women wear high-necked shirts without ties.
A helmet is a vital safety measure that protects the rider's life in case of an accidental fall. A helmet of suitable size must be selected to ensure maximum safety.
Similarly to the helmet, this vest can reduce injury to the spine and its sides in the event of an accidental fall.
Three reasons come to mind when choosing horse equestrian clothing for riding: the horseriding breeches interior of the knees is reinforced to protect the rider's skin; a snug-fitting pant design reduces friction between the pants and skin while riding; the wrap-around design of the pant leg makes it easy to put on and take off riding boots.
High-top and low-heeled riding boots must be worn for formal equestrian sports. Imported brands of rubber boots are common in the market, with the exterior made of rubber and good air permeability, while the interior is made of sweat-absorbing material.
It's easy to get bruises from the coarse reins while riding, making gloves indispensable equipment for horseback riding. Durable and comfortable gloves are usually preferred.
For cross-country racing, the most thrilling, exciting, and dangerous of all horseracing sports, the required horse equestrian sportswear clothing is lightweight and protective, and includes a helmet, boots, breeches, and armor, no tailcoat or jacket required, and a light T-shirt is worn under the armor. Bright colors are preferred for the T-shirt, and when the riders gallop across the green field, it's as if a beautiful lightning bolt has passed.
