Re: [RC] children's riding s tuff - Barbara McCrary
I'd say, let him wear jeans; if the inside of
his knees look like raw hamburger after a ride, and if they hurt enough, he may
be willing to consider wearing tights after that. It worked for my
husband. He, a rancher, was concerned about image, but comfort won over
"image". Let your son try riding in jeans. If he isn't in pain, let
him continue. Be sure to have a supply of extra large bandages along with
you. He may need them.
My 11yr old rides his horse with me. The helmet is
grudgingly worn with alot of grumbling - but he REFUSES to wear
riding pants (he calls them girlie tights). We compromised- he wears sweat
pants or wind/nylon workout pants (no inside seams). Even THAT was battle.
They sell them at Wal-Mart. Good luck! Hey, any input from male
endurance riders out there to give us some helpful hints to give to our
"macho- concerned with image") sons would be GGGGRRRRReatly
appreciated.
My 8Yo grandson is thinking he wants to start doing some
distance riding with me. He's got a nice horse, saddle that fits him and
the horse, but I need to get him out of his jeans and into some riding
britches...
anybody got boys who ride? What kind of pants do
they ride in? Anything particularly "cool" for a boy this age?? he
doesn't object to wearing a helmet, but I'm not sure if I can push it
as far as riding tights, LOL
