How much is English riding gear? Helmets, pants and boots??
If you aren%26#039;t interested in showing, you can just get some basic schooling gear. My Troxel schooling helmet was approximately $30, and it has lasted me several years and protected me through all of my clumsiness. If you DO want to show, you can always buy a velvet cover to put over the schooling helmet, which keeps you from having to buy a second one for showing.


The pants can be inexpensive or very expensive. Try looking for a tack shop that has a consignment area. I%26#039;ve found several nice pairs of breeches from consignment shops, but there%26#039;s no guarantee. If you buy from a catalog, look for knee patch breeches (synthetics and self patches are the least expensive) instead of full-seat--they%26#039;re less expensive, and I%26#039;d assume that they%26#039;re cooler in the summer. Once again, if you think you%26#039;re going to show, either get two pairs of breeches (which is a good idea either way) or buy one pair in a color that%26#039;s appropriate for the show ring.


Boots are probably the most expensive. I just bought a pair of synthetic tall boots for about $80. They don%26#039;t look bad, though; a friend noticed them at a recent show and complimented on how soft and supple the %26quot;leather%26quot; looked. However, other types (the custom leather ones) can skyrocket to $600 and up! A majority of leather tall boots are between $100 and $150 for a pretty good pair. If you aren%26#039;t planning on showing, you might want a pair of paddock boots (Usually only young children wear them in the show ring, but anyone can wear them in schooling.) and maybe some half chaps. If you want to show, though, just get a pair of tall boots and take good care of them.


If you%26#039;re planning to show, you%26#039;ll also need a huntcoat, a show shirt, a pin, and gloves. If you%26#039;re just starting out, though, I wouldn%26#039;t buy these and I%26#039;d wait for the signal from your instructor.

Don%26#039;t get field boots until you show.
Reply:Like pretty much everything else in the world, it depends on the quality of the product you purchase. You can get a cheap, no-frills Tipperary helmet for $60 or so, or you can take the plunge and get the ultra-sleek, super comfy GR8 by Charles Own for about $300. Some even venture up into the %400 range. Same with breeches and boots. Generally, in my opinion, Ariat paddock boots and clothing are the way to go if your serious about riding. The comfort and quality are unbeatable. I purchased my Ariat paddock boots for around $130, and I believe they are worth every penny.


But visit a tack shop near you. Explain to them what you%26#039;re looking for, give them a price range if you have one, and be sure to tell them how serious you are about this. Whether it%26#039;s just a weekend pasttime or showing on a national level, chances are the tack shop (if they%26#039;re any good) will have the appropriate attire.


You can also look in catalogs. Dover Saddlery and State Line Tack are the ones I drool over.





I hope you find what you%26#039;re looking for; good luck!

Reply:Well, I%26#039;m sure there are some tack shops close to you, so for your area you should go to them and check them out. Ask your trainer or fellow riders where they go. Also, online catalogs like Dover Saddlery and State Line Tack have a nice selection. Also, e-bay can be good if you know what you%26#039;re looking for. Also, make sure you try on boots and helmets because every brand fits differently...some boots run small or large, and all helemts do not fit all heads. If you are just starting out and just need schooling attire, you can get decent quality clothing at good prices. My estimates are:


breeches $50-$100(really cheap breeches just don%26#039;t last, you%26#039;re better off getting decent quality ones that won%26#039;t fall apart).


Boots, depends if you want tall(field) boots or short(paddock) boots...tall boots will run you around $150-$300 for decent quality schooling boots that you could probably show in at small shows(there are many options on tall boots such as zippers up the back to make them easier to put on and such), paddock boots will run you about $100 for a good quality pair such as Ariat, but you will also want half chaps(to protect your legs) if you wear paddock boots and they run about $40-$100 depending on style/brand.


A helmet can range between $30-$400, depending on if you want the latest style. Get a less expensive, but still safe, schooling helmet, then a nicer one for showing later so you don%26#039;t ruin your nice one.
Reply:Well, if you want to get fairly good brands go to a local Tack Shop and you can get breeches for 30-80 dollars, a helmet (i have a tipperary) could be 40-100+ dollars, my frst pair of boots were a pair of cheap of rubber riding boots that cost about 80 bucks i think, but u can also get a pair of feild boots and half chaps for about 100 dollars but they will last ALOT longer! If you want to spend more money then you can get a Greenhawk catalogue or buy horse magazines for more products and companies/stores!





Happy Riding!
