Riding in Style

Keep your kid safe and happy while riding.

Style doesn’t matter around horses if you aren’t safe. That’s why having your kid wear a well-fitted helmet is a must ($79.99; troxelhelmets.com). With two different designs to choose from, your little boy
or girl can choose from a dinosaur-themed helmet or go for the pink unicorn helmet. While the design will have your child excited about wearing a helmet, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child is safe. The helmets are ASTM/SEI-certified, have a dial-fit system that provides a customized fit, and a headliner that can fold over to adjust the helmet’s width to accommodate different head shapes.

Saddle Up

This saddle is made with the youth rider in mind. And tailored for those wearing girls’ or boys’ Western jeans from size four to 14. Choose from four styles that all feature a secure seat pocket, roughout leather, and kid-friendly proportions to help young riders maintain correct posture and balance. $1,269.99; cashelcompany.com.

Boot Scootin’

When you look like a champion, you feel like a champion. Boost your kid’s confidence with a pair of blue suede boots. With bright colors, fun pull holes, and a trendy cutter toe, these boots will become their favorite for riding, playing, and everything in between. $109.95; ariat.com.

Cowboy (or Cowgirl) Cool

If your kid is a trail rider, they will love these leather chinks. Available in multiple color options. Also, an adjustable waist, double-buckle closures, and snap leg closures, to fit your growing child. $76.99; nrsworld.com.
