How to Measure Your Head for a Riding Helmet
Measure Your Head
Wearing a helmet is an important safety precaution for horse riding because the purpose of a helmet is to protect your head in the case of an accident. Head trauma is a leading cause of fatality in horseback riding accidents. Wearing a horse riding helmet, one that fits you properly, significantly decreases your chances of a head injury.
Dressage Boots
Traditional dressage boots were designed with stiffer leather to give the rider’s ankle more support. Nowadays dressage riders also gravitate towards more versatile dress boots that have an easier break-in time, and more custom fit. Tall boots of all styles are meant to aid in the rider’s performance and comfort for long days spent in the saddle.

How to Measure for an English Saddle

When selecting a saddle, you want to choose one that is suitable to your riding discipline and is a good fit for both you and your horse. An English saddle is a bit different from Western saddles, so it’s important to know the proper way to measure and fit one. This guide will provide you with the information you need to measure an English saddle for an optimal riding position for comfort and effectiveness.
Dressage Saddle Pads
A good saddle pad can make a world of difference in your horse’s comfort while working under saddle. Gone are the days of simple cotton pads, now there are so many options to consider for your horse and saddle’s specific needs. Cotton has made way for technical fabrics with shock absorption and anti-slip advances to ensure you have the best ride possible. Saddle pads for dressage are larger than close contact and all-purpose pads because the saddle itself is larger.
