Toggi Jodhpurs Offer Expert Support

By Marcia Marks


Horse riders need to wear a certain type of pants whether they compete or ride just for the love of it. Toggi jodhpurs offer a wide range of well designed, comfortable jodhpurs for men, women and children. It is important to the rider and the horse that the right clothing is worn.

This will avoid the rider shifting around in the saddle trying to get the pants she is wearing not to pull down at the back or the legs to slide up while she is trying to concentrate. A well fitted pair of jodhpurs makes all the difference, especially in competitions.

When a rider becomes well experienced, one of the fears he will have to overcome is riding in all types of weather. The hills become misty and the ground damp and slippery. It must be quite scary saddling up, knowing that your horse has to trust you completely and look to you to guide him when out riding in wet weather. Practice as often as possible in a variety of weather conditions will help the rider develop a special relationship with her horse.

The better the rider does this the more the horse will trust her. If the rider is insecure and fearful the horse will pick that vibe up and become skittish. That will be dangerous for both and needs to be avoided at all costs. When it is raining the horse has to contend with the rain in his face, looking out for puddles and being aware of his rider's instructions. If the rider controls the situation well, there will be little chance of the horse stepping in a hole and breaking its leg.

A panic stricken horse behaves instinctively and will go charging off with or without his rider if he is given a fright. So the better the rider gets, the more the horse will place its trust in her. This is not an overnight process and will take some time for a rider to get their fear under control.

It must be both invigorating and soothing to get up in the morning and go out for a long ride on the farm in spring when everything is coming to life after a long winter. Watching the countryside change from day to day and appreciating the beauty of nature at its best is good for one's soul. With the summer months the rains arrive and there are lots of extra precautions a rider needs to take during this time.

Many hours and lots of hard work go into the preparation of a team for the dressage, show jumping or gymkhana events. Both horse and rider must be in tip top condition. The horse's coat must gleam from the special grooming he has had and from the healthy diet he has been given.

The rider will be dressed to impress in her Toggi jodhpurs and other attire. Both rider and horse may go on to win a trophy or two, or perhaps walk away with all the trophies of the day. Confidence and trust, not fear and insecurity are the tools needed to create a winning team.
