Toggi Jodhpurs Are The Choice That Real Riders Make

By Marcia Marks


If you are just starting out on a new venture into horse riding, you will have to make sure you are wearing the right clothing for your lessons. Toggi jodhpurs have a great selection of jodhpurs and other riding gear. They also have a range of children's wear including boots, gloves and helmets. The jodhpurs come in different colors, which can make a nice change from white or beige.

Some suppliers of riding clothes even sell a special body vest to protect against falls. They look quite similar to a bullet proof vest. They are made of strong material and offer excellent protection especially for a child. Falling from a horse can be a frightening and painful experience for anyone but more so for a young rider.

There are many other activities they volunteer in, but one of them is leading the horses and in many cases physically supporting the more severely disabled children on the horse. There is a carefully structured program which allows every child 40 hours free-of-charge riding therapy a year. What an amazing sacrifice these volunteers make to improve the lives of these children.

The reason riding therapy is so good for disabled people is that it exercises over 200 muscles in the body. Balance and posture is improved and it helps with fine and gross motor skills. Apart from the physical benefits, the psychological ones including immediate improvement in self-esteem are gained.

Many animals exhibit a special bond with humans. It is this special, non-judgmental relationship that horses in particular appear to have with special needs people. That is what makes the work this organization does so valuable and special for these children.

Looking forward to going to horse riding every week must bring new light into their limited lives. What a wonderful way to contribute to the development of these children and how rewarding to know you have made a difference in someone special's life. Encouraging our able bodied teenagers to volunteer at a place like this will give them deeper insight into a different world and a new appreciation for the healthy bodies they have been given.

Many hours and lots of hard work go into the preparation of a team for the dressage, show jumping or gymkhana events. Both horse and rider must be in tip top condition. The horse's coat must gleam from the special grooming he has had and from the healthy diet he has been given.

The rider will be dressed to impress in her Toggi jodhpurs and other attire. Both rider and horse may go on to win a trophy or two, or perhaps walk away with all the trophies of the day. Confidence and trust, not fear and insecurity are the tools needed to create a winning team.
