Best Answer

you should wear open-front boots

they are the safest and most effective... open-front boots are good as they let the horse feel they have hit a rail... but it does not hurt them

The answer to this will vary. You can ride a horse on a road barefoot, provided the horses hooves are strong enough to handle it. If however the horse becomes sore or chips/wears down it's hooves too quickly you would do better to put boots or shoes on the horse for road riding.

Is showjumping an expensive sport?

It depends how much you are willing to spend To elaborate, much of it depends on the level of riding at which you're competing, and how much training you're willing to put into your horse. Showjumping on smaller circuits can be very affordable if you approach it with some common sense and practicality. Ask around at shows about working as a groom in order to learn how to properly turn out a horse for showjumping, as well as how to care for a horse doing things such as properly applying standing and polo wraps with or without liniment. If you learn how to do this before starting your show career, you can save hundreds on grooms and basic veterinary care. The most important considerations are buying only the essentials and working your way toward more knowledge and connections - this can lead to finding a trainer at a discounted rate if you work for them as a stable hand at shows!

The next best thing to horse riding specific boots are smooth soled work boots with a low heel. You could also wear 'fashion' style boots so long as they have a 1.5 to 2 inch heel on them. If you can only wear tennis or athletic shoes ask if the person has toe cages or Tapaderos to put on the stirrup irons to keep your foot from going through the iron.
