What Women Should Wear For A Horseback Riding Activity
Tours in tropical destinations often include horseback riding. It’s a popular means of sightseeing among locals and tourists alike. If horseback riding is part of your activities during your upcoming getaway, you might want to continue reading. The following are some pointers on what best to wear when riding a horse.
Steer clear of using loose clothing and fashion accessories. When riding too close to trees, they might get caught on the branches. Imagine what disaster a chandelier earring poses should it come too close to a tree branch! You can save looking all too stylish during the other parts of your vacation.
Go for jean skinny or tight workout pants. Baggy pants will only rub against your inner thighs during the ride. If the horseback riding activity is to be followed by a dip at a beach, for sure you’ll have to say ‘pass’. Shorts are also a no-no. It’s probable that your legs will get scratched should you ride right next to the bushes.
As with footwear, steer clear of sandals, flip-flops and very high-heeled shoes. A pair of women’s brown boots would be great for the ride, especially if it has 1-inch heels. Such will come in handy when a saddle is available. They will keep your feet from slipping through the stirrups. Wonder not why even cowboy boots have heels; they’re for the same reason.
If possible, do wear a helmet when horseback riding. There’s an equestrian helmet, but the truth is any other type is good enough. So do you have to say ‘pass’ to wearing a cowboy hat? During picture takings, sure you can wear one for pretty snapshots. But when on the move, your safety should always come first.
You should also wear sun block to protect your skin from the damaging effects of direct sunlight. Read the label: its SPF rating should be at least 15 or higher, according to dermatologists. Also, apply sun block at least 20 minutes before your trail ride, to make it more effective. Shirts with long sleeves won’t protect you from UV rays. Use BB cream with sunshield on your face, then put on dark sunglasses.
You want to remember your horseback riding activity as a pleasing experience. And not as a disastrous event during your tropical hideaway. Just make sure you include the items mentioned above in your suitcase.
