Hats of the correct standard must be worn at all times when mounted correctly fitted and fastened. We have hats you can use for free for your first 5 visits. If you have a riding hat, bring it along and ask your instructor to check it for current standards.

​

Footwear

Riding boots or Jodhpur boots ideally should be worn, however, any closed toe flat shoe or boot with a smooth sole and a small heel would be acceptable. Trainers are not acceptable. They are unsafe and you will not be permitted to ride should you attend wearing them. See T&C's for more details.

Thick leggings or trousers that offer freedom of movement. Jeans have been known to cause friction. Legs must be covered at all times i.e no shorts or skirts.
