To get ready for riding horses, you need to be well protected. This, of course, means getting a riding helmet that fits you. Next, you have to choose normal clothing. When choosing clothing, always consider what type of riding you will be doing. Are you practicing dressage? Show jumping? English riding? In this case, Horse companies often make specialized clothing, such as jodhpurs and such. But, if you are going trail riding, you need to choose comfortable clothing, that will protect you from the elements, and IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT BAGGY. They don't need to be too tight, but baggy clothes are a recipe for disaster in any case when riding, as they can catch on your saddle as you mount/dismount. As for fashion, leave that at home. Fashion IS NOT important when riding, your safety comes first. This means leave all that pretty, dangly but annoying jewelry at home, along with your expensive designer outfits. Also, when going trail riding, make sure that your legs are protected from rubbing against the saddle and causing sores, as well as from other things such as trees, branches, and bushes as you ride. Oh, and make sure your pants have a VERY GOOD and sturdy crotch seam. You'll be sorry if they don't! When choosing shoes, go for riding boots, or if you don't have any, wear cowboy boots or tennis shoes. When you need to tell your horse to go, it will not be a very good situation if your wearing your flip-flops, or 'oh-so-cute' high heels, so leave them at home. Also check to make sure it is easy for you to get your foot out of the stirrup with whatever you are wearing. That could be very important if you find yourself in a stick situation. Leave all your cool accessories at home. There is not a lot of room to mess with your sunglasses, cool chains, or dangly jewelry. Just save that for another time.

It's important to be safe when riding, think of safety more than style.<br /><br />Jodphurs or breeches= No baggy clothes they can get caught on the saddle while riding, if you dont have any jodphurs or breeches then long legging will do. Also make sure your underwear is strong round the crotch area as riding is bumpy.<br /><br />Comfy t shirt= Any thing your comfy in, glittery or shiny tops arn't exactly ideal, they could spook the horse and arnt ideal for riding.<br /><br />Jumper/Cardigan= Depending on what the weather is like, if its quite warm wear a thin jumper or cardigan or none at all. If its cold then wear a thicker jumper.<br /><br />Hat=Make sure you have a nice fitting hat, a way to check your hat fits is to shake your head forward and back and if it slips LOTS then you need a smaller hat. It's ok if it slips a tiny bit but make sure its tight on.<br /><br />Gloves= Sometimes the reins can be hard on your hands, make sure you have some comfy protective riding gloves that stop your hands from getting sore.<br /><br />Boots= You can wear the small ankle type or the larger type that are like larger tight fitting wellingtons. If you wear ankle type either wear chaps or have jodphurs with a stirrup on the bottom.<br /><br />Body protecter= If your jumping/cantering/galloping or hacking then its best to have a body protecter. There is a possiblity you can fall off, if you fall off and you don't have a body protector then you can hurt yourself more than what you would have if you was wearing one. Body protectors cant stop the injury totally but it can stop it from being to severe.<br /><br />Sock= It's better to wear thick socks when riding especially in the winter. Its stops your toes and feet from going numb and much more comfy.
Usually what I wear is a nice fitting t-shirt, riding pants (that fit just right, not to long and not to short), half chaps, riding boots, riding gloves, and or course a helmet. Never ever wear baggy clothes unless your not riding around horses. Because sometimes the can get like caught on the saddle.

What is the name of a group of race horses?
They don't really have a name for a group of race horses as far as I know. Cause generally when racing, they compete against each other. And it's a solo race for the win. So there is no association with the other horses, like for example a team of basketball players.
