What do I need?

If you like horses, enjoy nature and practice outdoor sports, horse riding is your sport. Horseback riding is a very complete sport with countless benefits, among which we highlight:

Riding pants
Riding boots or
ankle boots with leggings
Helmet
Back protector
(opsyonal)

Depending on the time of year you will have to go more or less warm. You can find this sports equipment in a large number of stores and in a wide range of qualities and prices. In addition, many schools offer you the use of their helmet or protector, so you will not need to buy it either.
Remember that it is never too late to start, one of the main advantages of horse riding is that it has practically no age limit. It is true that it will depend on the physical condition of each person and the elasticity of each one, but in most cases it is a sport that can be started at any age.

False myth
Horse riding is an expensive sport

We often have the perception that horse riding is an expensive and elitist sport. Nothing further from reality. As we have explained, to start you only need basic clothing as in any other sport, the rest is provided by the riding school you choose. There are many clubs that offer classes by the hour at prices starting from €15. Of course, we advise you to ALWAYS start with a qualified professional in a federated equestrian center.
