Tacking Up

We are barn casual most of the time, however, when it comes time to ride you will need the following: a properly fitting English dressage or all-purpose saddle, saddle pad and English bridle with snaffle bit. Some school saddles are available for beginning riders.

Riders will wear English breeches, riding boots (paddock boots with half-chaps are acceptable) and seasonal style shirts tucked into breeches. USDF approved helmets are a requirement and will be worn at all times when you are engaged in training with your horse.

Optional training equipment may include gloves, spurs and whips for riders and polo wraps for horses. Judith is available for consultation for show apparel and equipment, and precision riding groups such as the Steel Magnolias will dress in matching ensembles during exhibitions.
