WELCOME TO HERD HOUSE RIDING SCHOOL

All riders must wear a current BSI standard hat. For the first few lessons riders may borrow a hat from us. It is then advisable to purchase your own kite marked headwear. This is either a PAS015 or EN1384. Please note, if your hat does not comply with the current standards you will not be allowed to ride in it.

Riders should wear footwear with a smooth sole and small defined heel. Trainers, wedge heels, ribbed soles or wellingtons are not suitable. We have a selection of boots available to borrow for those riders not yet owning their own.

Please wear comfortable and flexible clothing which is neither too loose nor restrictive. Shorts or cropped trousers are not suitable.

We recommend these are worn. They should be made for riding. Thick bulk gloves are no good. We also recommend you think about all season gloves that are comfortable, light weight and allow a good grip.

Recommended for all jumping lessons. Please note we do not have them available to borrow. No matter what level of rider you are it’s advisable to protect yourself as much as possible.
