Beginner checklist

  1. Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
  2. Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
  3. Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
