What Women Should Wear For A Horseback Riding Activity

Tours in tropical destinations often include horseback riding. It's a popular means of sightseeing among locals and tourists alike. If horseback riding is part of your activities during your upcoming getaway, you might want to continue reading. The following are some pointers on what best to wear when riding a horse.

Expect that you'll be riding next to the trees. That is why you should avoid donning loose clothing, jewelries and other accessories. They might get caught on the branches should you come too close to them. Also, they might get caught on the saddle in case you fall of the horse. Being dragged along by a horse is not really a pleasing experience.

Go for jean skinny or tight workout pants. Baggy pants will only rub against your inner thighs during the ride. If the horseback riding activity is to be followed by a dip at a beach, for sure you'll have to say 'pass'. Shorts are also a no-no. It's probable that your legs will get scratched should you ride right next to the bushes.

When it comes to footgear, go for something with heels measuring about an inch. Such is important to prevent your feet from going through the stirrups, if available. A pair of women's brown boots with one-inch heels is great to be worn during the trail ride. Skip wearing open toed shoes and flip flops.

If possible, do wear a helmet when horseback riding. There's an equestrian helmet, but the truth is any other type is good enough. So do you have to say 'pass' to wearing a cowboy hat? During picture takings, sure you can wear one for pretty snapshots. But when on the move, your safety should always come first.

To protect yourself from harmful UV rays of the sun, apply sun block at least 20 minutes before the ride. Dermatologists recommend for you to use one with an SPF rating of 15 or higher. Wearing long sleeved shirts is not enough, as UV rays can penetrate the fabric. For your face, you can apply BB cream with sun protection. Of course wear dark sunglasses to protect your eyes from both dust and glare.

It pays to be prepared for your tropical getaway. Now you got an idea on what to include in your luggage. You can maximize your horseback riding enjoyment when you know what to wear for comfort and safety.
