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 Quote Link to post
fellboots 1 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Good for you learning to rde. i taught my OH several years ago and he really enjoys it. the trouble is he keeps stealing my hunters now. i second the racesafe body protectors. iv tried most of them and would always reccomend the racesafe one.

Upton Pyne is good with all the mod cons and the hunt meets there, they also have the terrier shows there as it is such a big place. Good luck.
