Riding Attire
Hunter Seat Equitation has always been conservative and when it comes to attire, we uphold those traditions.
Our suggestions for purchasing riding attire for lessons:
~Well fitted collared shirt. We love sun shirts
~Riding tights or breeches. Please avoid silicone grip full seat grip.
~ASTM/SEI approved riding helmet that must be worn around horses at all times. We HIGHLY recommend investing in a quality helmet like "Trauma Void", "IRH", "One K", or "Samshield" because you only have one brain. More concussions occur in Equine sports than hockey, football, and soccer combined. These helmets are also perfect for competition.
~Paddock boots and half chaps
​
We will guide you into show attire when the time comes
What else can I buy for my rider?
Once riders have advanced off the lunge line/round pen we recommend:
-Your own set of grooming tools
-Your own saddle pad(s)
-Your own flyspray (Mosquito Halt is GREAT!)
-Your own hoof oil and thrush treatment (durasole or thrush buster)
Some riders like to purchase their own saddles regardless of leasing one of our horses or just riding in the program. We support this but also ask that no saddle purchases are made without approval of your instructor. Not all saddles fit every rider or horse.
Please expect a minimum of $1,500.00 for appropriate quality. We usually have wonderful saddles on consignment right here at the farm!
Our head instructor is sponsored by French saddle company, CWD. They have new custom, certified used, new custom lease programs and great young rider program for kids under 12 for new custom.

Most of the year it is hot and humid!
Look for soft shell show coats, but not mesh. For all clothing/equipment try to find performance fabrics with moisture-wicking capabilities & mesh ventilated areas.
