Ye I think your right my kids loved it ill give it a couple of weeks and then get all the gear .its a said o/d height on top of that horse lol.
I know, the equiptment is expensive but worth it....if you want a comfy bodyprotector go for a racesafe one they are brilliant. Anouther tip is always have your arms covered, i once was on my way back from a show and just had a thin short sleave shirt, the horse spooked and sent my flying going skidding across tarmac and got a large rock stuck in my elbow....if only i had worn a long sleeve t-shirt i would have avoided the gravel rash lol
