On the training material for horses

Equestrian equipment is very important for the safety of the rider and the horse.

For the protection of the head, you need to wear a helmet for good. The use of the helmet is necessary, especially for students of the pony club and boys less than 14 years. Additional equipment is fluorescent bands. It is essential if you travel even short distances on roads used by cars. Safety equipment includes a belt with a diagonal band, bracelets and fluorescent leggings.

For testers and cross-country competitions wear padded jackets that are used to protect the rider.

To protect the horse, you will need to be applied fluorescent bands on the legs and tail of the horse.
Additional protection is appropriate especially in winter when the visibility becomes smaller and a flashlight attached to the fork.
