Horse riding is popular for a number of reasons. Some like a leisurely ride; others like to race; some like to hunt; and still others enjoy jumping. But one thing these all have in common is the need for proper safety equipment. Even experienced riders can be severely injured in a riding accident, making equestrian safety equipment very important for anyone on a horse.

The simplest form of equestrian safety equipment is reflective clothing. Equestrian safety equipment can help make riders and horses more visible, especially in low light. This may include straps that can be wrapped around a horse's legs or neck and reflective vests or hats worn by the rider.

Other equestrian safety equipment involves protecting the rider from a fall. There are a variety of helmets available in lightweight models that can protect a rider's head from heavy impact. Another type of equestrian safety equipment that has to do with heavy impact is the riding vest. These work to protect the torso from bruising and soft tissue damage in an accident. They can even help prevent broken bones. The riding vests come in three different protection ratings; the highest being recommended for most riders. Equestrian safety equipment also includes arm bands that contain pockets for medical information. In the case of an accident, medical personnel can quickly find and use this medical information while treating a rider.
