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