What to Wear
Cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon,

Dressing for the Hot Weather
Even though it may be hot you still need to wear leg protection when you are riding. We recommend riding pants or jeans to our students. A nice pair of riding pants will not cost too much if you shop around and they are designed with your comfort in mind. Check out a few on line sources or go to a local tack shop to see what they offer.
You should wear a pair of shoes with a low heel to keep your feet from sliding through the stirrups. If you are taking lessons you should wear a snug fitting shirt or a shirt you can tuck in so the instructor can clearly see your posture. A vest can sometimes work better for riding warmth than a coat or jacket.
It probalby isn't a bad idea to wear sunscreen if you are at the farm at the middle of the day and after April 1.
