The equipment should be comfortable and convenient. You should prepare your own equestrian equipment, including pants, shoes and leggings, riding clothes, and most importantly, helmets and gloves to protect your safety.

First of all, pants

Many equestrian enthusiasts will choose British breeches, which are comfortable, elastic and wear-resistant. Breeches can be divided into half leather and full leather. The so-called half leather refers to the reinforced fabric on the inner side of the breeches' knees, and the so-called full leather refers to the thickening of the hips and knees with leather, because these parts are the most worn parts when riding breeches. Nowadays, leather materials are all artificial, called superfine fiber, which has the same appearance as leather and better physical properties. If you are an unprepared beginner, you'd better choose loose, comfortable and elastic sweatpants, because the exercise is still intense during riding.

Second, shoes and leggings

If you are a beginner, you may not have so much preparation for the first time. You can wear sports shoes to fit your feet. Once you are ready to learn equestrian, it is very necessary to buy riding boots. If you are well prepared, English riding boots usually have heels to protect your ankles and move flexibly. Leggings are more professional and worn with breeches to reduce friction. Don't let your calf get hurt because of excessive tension.

Third, cycling clothes.

There are not too many restrictions on cycling clothes, but at low temperatures, it is best to choose outdoor professional materials to keep out the cold and breathe freely. The length of the top should be able to cover the buttocks, not too tight or too loose. In winter, besides sweating, we should also pay attention to keeping warm. You can wear sweaty underwear inside, sweaters or knitted clothes in the middle layer, and windproof, waterproof and breathable coats outside.

Fourth, the helmet

This is the key point, equestrian training, helmets are essential. Different from other kinds of helmets, the structure of equestrian helmet requires it to crack under a certain impact force to reduce damage. At present, there are many helmets at various prices in China, so it is recommended to buy helmets that meet international standards.

Five, gloves

During riding, you should hold the reins with your hands. In the process of beginners, it is inevitable that they will be nervous, leading to a class, and their hands will hold the reins tightly and get hurt. Therefore, it is suggested that beginners can prepare equestrian gloves to alleviate this phenomenon.

Can children learn equestrian?

What are the benefits of equestrian for children's growth?

1, movement

Riding a horse 10 minute is equivalent to 654.38+10,000 massages, and riding a horse for 30 minutes is equivalent to playing an intense basketball game. Riding a horse for 40 minutes is enough to exceed the 36 holes of golf.

Step 2 improve your temperament

Equestrian sports require strict posture, which can help teenagers adjust their bad body posture or posture caused by schoolwork pressure, long-term use of computers, and love of snacks. And make the child's posture more tall and graceful.

Riding is a vertical stretching exercise. If you can persist for a long time, you can gradually form a beautiful posture. This is why in western aristocratic families, women are required to learn to ride horses at a very young age, which can shape the princess-like temperament.

Step 3 cultivate love

Equestrian is a sport that people and animals complete together. The close cooperation between people and horses can guide children to communicate with animals, cultivate patience and love, make children more cheerful and optimistic, be willing to get along with others, learn to take the initiative to pay, and let teenagers grow up healthily in the psychological development stage.

4, teamwork

Equestrian emphasizes cooperation and coordination, whether between people and horses or between summer camp members. Through equestrian, let children make friends with interests and hobbies and increase social interaction; At the same time, learn teamwork, obedience and communication.

5. International perspective

Equestrian is very popular in Europe and America, and many equestrian training institutions and even public universities offer equestrian majors. Learning equestrian provides more channels for children preparing to go abroad, and also provides more possibilities for their social life after going abroad!

Do you know the five skills of learning equestrian?

First of all, we can study the basic psychology and behavior of some horses, so that we can communicate with them better. At the same time, we should learn something about horses and saddles, and find a suitable club, where there will be better venues and horses for us to choose from. Try not to touch the horse when you put the lantern, and then you can gently let it go and hang it on the horse's ribs. In outdoor sports, grab the right side of saddle bridge with your right hand and connect your left foot downward, but be sure to pay attention.

How to train equestrian

Simple or complex, we have different understandings of equestrian learning at different stages and in different aspects. In the final analysis, learning equestrian is from easy to difficult, and then from complex to simple. Mature horses simplify complex problems, high-level coaches simplify difficult problems, and solid basic skills training is the guarantee of all simplification. But whether our understanding should be complex or simple, there is also an evolutionary process here. When we talk about the assistance of horse forward deceleration, there will be many versions to introduce. Today, we may have a new experience by quoting the views of Swedish venue obstacle master and equestrian educator. Acceleration aid, rider's calf, spurs and whip. The rider can do nothing but wait except to accelerate the horse with his calf. Don't push the horse with other parts of our bodies, or even shake hands. This is a big taboo for jumping obstacles. The role of spurs and whips is to help the calf assist. The purpose of training is to make the horse lighter and easier to accept leg assistance, and it is definitely not a substitute for the rider's leg assistance. The rider only needs to feel whether the rhythm and speed of the horse can jump over the obstacles in front and keep this rhythm. With the help of direction, we need to control the horse's shoulders with reins to realize steering. In fact, it is enough to guide the horse's nose in. Don't change the assistance of the leg too much to affect the steering, because in obstacle training, the calf should tell Mado to move forward, which is different from dance training. In obstacles, it is absolutely unnecessary to turn or even run and rotate in the same place. Therefore, in obstacle-crossing training, we try our best to separate functions, control acceleration with the calf and control steering with the reins. When we ask the horse to slow down, we can't make the horse shrink too much like dance training, because there is a high obstacle waiting for you to lead the horse to jump ahead. We know that the correct way for a horse to move is to step deeply on its hind legs. In order to keep the horse moving completely, it is necessary to slow down the horse in this way. Sitting too much will ruin the process of deep stepping. Then, when we need the horse to slow down, as long as we raise the center of gravity, the horse will slow down. At this time, it is easy to slow down with a little reins and no legs. The higher you leave the saddle, the more obvious it is. Ok, now we understand that in obstacle training, we use our calves to accelerate the horse, use the reins to control the direction, and raise the center of gravity to slow the horse down. In this way, the key direction and speed of the obstacle are simply divided, and the rest of the time we just need to sit on the horse to keep the rhythm and speed and jump over the obstacle. From this theory, we can easily see that all the reasons for simplification are to meet the needs of jumping, and the pursuit is not perfect, but practical.
