What tack and saddlery do I need to ride a horse?

The tack and saddlery you need to ride a horse includes the saddle, saddle pad, girth, bridle and reins. Other essential horse tack supplies include stirrups, bits, cinches, blankets, boots, halters and horseshoes.

What kind of horse tack and saddlery styles are there?

There are many horse tack and saddlery styles. The two main styles of riding are English and Western, and each has its own type of horse saddlery and its own type of tack. The types of tack and horse saddlery you need will also depend upon what kind of riding you will be doing. You will need a different type of saddlery and tack for pleasure riding than what you would need for sport riding, dressage or eventing. Talk to your riding instructor or other riders for help picking out the right type of tack for your horse riding needs.

How should a beginner tack a horse?

A beginner should tack a horse by following a series of essential steps. Many riders recommend starting by securing and grooming your horse. Then, put the blanket and/or saddle pad on your horse. Put the saddle on the saddle pad and then connect and tighten the girth. Then, place the bit, bridle and reins, starting with the bit. Once that's done, you can adjust your stirrups and put on any additional items like horse boots, if you are using them. Be sure to have an expert show you the proper technique for each step and seek out horse tacking tutorials online if you need further guidance.

What horse tack do beginner riders need?

Beginner riders need essential horse tack like a saddle, pad, bridle, bit, reins, halter and lead, and basic grooming supplies. Beginner riders should also have equestrian apparel like good riding boots, breeches, a helmet and a safety vest. Riding gloves may also be a good investment if you want a better grip or need to protect your hands. Talk to seasoned riders about the best horse tack and equipment for beginners and to find out what types are best for your riding style.
