Horse riding with fake nails ?

Too much of a hassle! They break doing up the girth, if your horse unexpectedly tugs away from you, or if you're an eventer or a jumper, when your fumbling your reins. And it HURTS!! The last thing you want is to miss your class at a show because your finger is bleeding blood and guts everywhere because you got your bloody fake nail caught in the girth buckle!

nahh as long as your gloves aren't too small its fine and feels normal

i ride up to four horses a day and i tack and untack myself plus do a **** load of other barn work and my nails don't break.. i can even go 3 weeks without a fill in sometimes, so don't listen to the other answers they prob just have never had fake nails and just assume they will break or be annoying.. but really its not a problem at all, my trainer even has fake nails

if you wear gloves with fake nails it would be uncomfortable if the nails are pretty long at least a quarter of an inch would be hard to grab the reins with gloves if the horse is traveling fast but if its just for a light gallop or anything light it shouldn't be an issue.

i wear fake nails but i get them done at the salon so they don't fall off. with gloves you should be fine as long as you got them done at the salon. owning horses can leave your nails looking dirty most horse owners actually have fake nails (well the one that care what they look like) they stay on for how ever long you want and you go to the salon to get them off or filled in. it's not to expensive i pay 25 to get them done and 15 for filling in.

the one problem is they damage your nails.

I wouldn't recommend riding in fake nails, they could break pretty easily and would be very uncomfortable when you're trying to get your hands into the right position, they would also be very hard to wear with riding gloves...

So humorous I simply bought acrylic nails for the primary time and used to be concerned approximately the equal factor. They make matters rather difficult to seize however I didn't have hindrance doing barn chores or driving. I might suggest gel nails even though, simplest on the grounds that I used to be beautiful hard and wasn't gentle with them and so they did get smacked round plenty. I consider in the event that they have been low-priced glue on ones they wouldve chipped and snapped to bits. So for those who quite wish spend money on gel nails. I had mine for three weeks and so they slightly chipped and by no means snapped off.

I did it for many years before I started doing my own schlack nails. I personally liked having them on as it felt like a bit more of protection as my nails were weak from getting them filled all the time. Now they are fine. It will take you a bit to learn how to do all your tasks, such as small buckles.

In the winter time they will break and chip faster and in the summer time fly sprays will strip your color.

I say do it. I NEVER had an issue with it. I stopped getting mine done because of the $$.

Fake nails won't last long and they will get uncomfortable.
