Tours in tropical destinations often include horseback riding. It’s a popular means of sightseeing among locals and tourists alike. If horseback riding is part of your activities during your upcoming getaway, you might want to continue reading. The following are some pointers on what best to wear when riding a horse.

Steer clear of using loose clothing and fashion accessories. When riding too close to trees, they might get caught on the branches. Imagine what disaster a chandelier earring poses should it come too close to a tree branch! You can save looking all too stylish during the other parts of your vacation.

Your legs are likely to get scratched by bushes when you wear shorts. Also, refrain from wearing loose pants with large inseams. The continual rubbing of which against your inner thighs can get you gashed. Imagine the pain you need to put up with if a swim at the beach follows after your horseback riding. You can wear your work out pants or jean skinny instead.

Skip wearing flip flops and open-toed sandals, and most especially shoes with very high heels. Now is the best time to wear women’s brown boots, with heels that are about an inch long. Why wear something with heels? They will prevent your feet from sliding through the stirrups, if ever they’re provided. It’s for the same reason why cowboy boots got heels.

Wearing a cowboy hat sure looks perfect on a picture. But it’s not going to protect your head should you fall off the horse. Wear a helmet throughout the horseback riding event. It doesn’t have to be an equestrian helmet. Just about any helmet will do. Don a cowboy hat during picture taking sessions with the horse, but wear a helmet during the ride for safety.

You should also wear sun block to protect your skin from the damaging effects of direct sunlight. Read the label: its SPF rating should be at least 15 or higher, according to dermatologists. Also, apply sun block at least 20 minutes before your trail ride, to make it more effective. Shirts with long sleeves won’t protect you from UV rays. Use BB cream with sunshield on your face, then put on dark sunglasses.

Enjoying the breathtaking sights of a tropical destination sure sounds fun riding a horse. But you can maximize your enjoyment when you know how to be safe and comfortable during the experience. Now that you know what to wear for your horseback riding experience, it’s time to pack your suitcase.
