The following items are suitable for riding and are acceptable:

  • Full length trousers
  • T-shirts or tops which cover a minimum of shoulders and tops of arms
  • Jumpers
  • Zipped or buttoned coats
  • Gloves (not mittens)
  • Boots with a small heel and flat sole
  • Stout shoes (as above)
  • Trainers
  • Wellingtons

The following items are not suitable and will not be acceptable:

  • Beach wear
  • Cropped trousers or shorts

  • Vest tops or cropped tops
  • Slip-on shoes
  • Mules

The Riding School will provide riding helmets to the current safety standard for any rider who does not have their own, but we have no capacity for the provision or loan of any other clothing or footwear.

Thank you for your co-operation.
