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
well bell boots are what you put on the horse feet!
*
The wide padded part should be on the inside of the horse's ankle, and the straps should be going toward the back
you should put bell boots on the horse because when horses over reach with their back legs they pull their shoes... bell boots are especially designed to have a long flap in the back to prevent their hoofs from latching on to the shoe! :)
I would recomend medium size. Im also in the market for splint boots, and I found the medium size is for horses 14'2- 16' HH or the average size horse.
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.
if you go to your 'stable' on the top of the screen then your horse should be there or go to the 'paddock' if your horse is there then click 'put my horse in the stable' if the horse is not there then he/she is in the stable.
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!
You put on a saddle. You would also put on a saddle pad, bridle and any other things that that horse would need (example: splint boots, bell boots, polo wraps, crouper, martingale, ect.).
After it is fenced, or the horse may run away.
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.
depends how fat the horse is and the weather!
