A few basic items are associated with horse riding which are essential for the rider to use. Amongst these,Perfect horse riding accessories can keep you horse happy and provide you with a  safe riding experi Articles appropriate costumes and boots are very important to provide the rider with a comfortable feeling and ease in riding. There are in fact various different types of equipments and apparel involved in riding that often a beginner gets confused. When it comes to horse-riding equipments related to outerwear, there are a few items that are instantly recognized such as chaps and horse bits. Chaps are more than a fashion wear, which offers maximum safety and comfort to the wearer. Both half chaps and full chaps were originally worn by riders in the countryside, to avoid getting pricked by thorny bushes and prickly plants.But it is used today to protect the leg as well as keep it warm and dry.

Half chaps have always been worn with Jodhpur boots. Jodhpur boots are short and the chap helps to cover the leg from the ankle, overlapping the boot slightly, up to the knee. Half chaps are great in providing protection to the leg from chaffing and help the jodhpurs stay in place whilst riding.Just as there are varied types of boots like long boots or short boots to provide riding pleasure, similarly you have a choice in chaps as well, half or full chaps. The half chaps are specifically designed to be worn with Jodhpurboots as they give your legs and ankles the same kind of protection that wearing longer boots usually provide.The material of choice for chaps is leather, due to its durability and the fact that it can stand up to poor weather conditions as well.

Next we come to horse bits, another very essential requirement and a key to perfect horse riding. Finding the right bit is very important since it is fundamental to the success in relationship between the rider and the horse.Measuring your horse to get the exact fitting horse bits is crucial to the health and behavior of the horses as well as for safe riding. Bits for horses can help you understand the signs when they are uncomfortable, and then you can always distinguish between a wrong sized bit and the right one. If you want a happy and healthy horse, which enjoys going on rides with you; you should try for the best level of communication with them.And this is only possible if you do not underestimate the importance of bits and get the right one.
