what riding clothes should i buy? and BQ?

Your main things are:

Riding Helmet - expect to spend $50 to $100 on a helmet. Troxel, Ovation and IRH are good lower budget helmets. Charles Owen and GPA are good higher budget helmets ranging from $100 to $700.

Personally I prefer set sizes rather than the dial system. A helmet that has been properly fitted to your head should not cause you any pain or discomfort and should not be at all tight. Ask the sales lady (or man) that you are looking for a good quality helmet and tell them your budget. They should have some available for you to try on and see which suits your head shape the best. Different brands sometimes cater to different shaped heads; round, oval etc. Personally for a more professional/show look I prefer velvet riding hats or suede. I feel the cycle style helmets don't look as professional. but that is just my opinion.

Boots - a good quality pair of Paddock boots can start at $30 and go upto $300. If you only ride once a week then you can skimp a bit and go for a cheaper pair. However if you ride more often then you may want to spend a bit more for a pair that lasts longer. My go to paddock boots for everyday riding are a cheap pair from my local tack shop. I think the brand is 'Survivor' (never heard of them before I bought them and you won't find them anywhere) they cost about $20 and have lasted me about 3 years with daily use. It is always better to go for a pair with a thicker sole as they tend to hold up better.

Chaps - I always feel an older rider (aka not a child rider) looks weird in paddock boots without chaps. Personally if it wasn't for the protection I would still wear them anyway. Suede and equi-suede are good materials, however I prefer leather or equi-leather 'gaiters' they are slightly more than normal chaps but the give the illusion of tall boots and should be acceptable in most shows if you ever do plan on showing. I also find they tend to hold up better than suede. Suede can sometimes go shiny and look used and old, but a good pair of gaiters can last a long time. I have had my current pair for 7 years. I have had to replace the bottom elastic several times and fix the zips twice but the actual leather shows minimal wear and tear and I use them daily.

Gloves - a good pair of riding gloves should be relatively inexpensive. Look for a pair that has decent gripping and good padding on the fingers. These can often be a lifesaver. I splurged and bought the Roekl Cross Country gloves. They have amazing grip on the palms. SSG and Ovation are good cheaper brands.

Riding Pants - Whether you go for Jodphurs, Breeches or Training Pants that is up to you. Training Pants tend to be cheaper but thinner in quality. Higher quality will cost more, but for you, cheaper will be fine. Dark colours like black, maroon, navy, hunter green are always preferable as they show up less dirt and stains, but I would suggest at least one pair of beige/tan riding pants for possible shows, even a pair of Training Pants will be fine.

Don't waste your money on special riding shirts and polos. They are no different than normal shirts you can get in clothing shops but cost far more. Personally I prefer cheap mens polos that aren't too fitted.

When riding I wear Jodhs or Breeches (I've managed quite a collection over the years of different brands), Paddock Boots and Gaiters, Helmet, Gloves and a Polo. If its colder I'll wear a hoodie or fleece and if it's raining an anorak.

Barn work I generally wear the same minus the helmet and gloves. If I'm only going to the barn to feed and not riding, I'll wear jeans and old sneakers.

I definitely suggest getting some breeches or jodhpurs as they are super comfy, and you can usually find some that aren't too expensive, I have a few pairs that I got for no more than $50.

I personally wouldn't worry about buying expensive polo shirts and such, as any shirt looks fine really, and you can buy cheap simple collared shirts that won't be anything over $10 at stores like target.

For boots, just paddock boots sounds good! Half chaps is really up to you and how much you want to spend. :)

I would definitely invest in a helmet, even if it is a tad on the pricey side.

BQ: when I ride I wear jodhpurs or breeches, knee socks to keep them in place, normal t-shirts, zip up riding boots and if I can be bothered putting them on, half chaps. As for just hanging out at the stables I'm usually wearing pretty much the same thing as the days I ride, I work as well, but sometimes I'll have shorts on if the weather's hot. :)

I think this would be easiest in a list form.

-Tan breeches. Always try them on because you can't really go by your normal pant size. If you can, get more than one. Maybe two tan, one navy blue. But if you can only afford one, definitely get tan.

-Helmet. Oviation is a good brand. So is Tipperary. When you go, wear your hair the way you do when you ride. This way you can be sure it will fit correctly when you need it.

-Gloves. You will definitely need these when you get into more advanced riding (euuhhh. Blisters:/) I wouldn't recommend the ones with crochet backs. Leather or cloth gloves with grips work best.

-Paddock boots. Just be sure they fit. It really doesn't matter what brand. Well, it has never mattered to me haha

-Chaps. These are sort of essential. You are always expected to wear something that covers your calves (in shows), whether it be chaps or full length boots. Get leather if you can afford it. I have mesh, though, and they work well and are much much much much cheaper! And leather is hotter. I guess this is just personal preference here.

As for shirts, buy a white short sleeve button down and a white long sleeve button down. Other than that, you don't need polos unless you want them. I have been riding for eight years and have never bought one! I wear t-shirts. This is personal preference as well. Just don't forget the show shirts!

*You don't need a show jacket until you get past pre-lim (if you are an eventer). If you're done growing, you may as well get one while you have the money. If not, don't bother.

**I would suggest getting a stopwatch (the kind that counts down, up, is a timer, all that jazz) if you are an eventer. It looks like a wristwatch. They should have them at nearly every "horse store." I don't really know what to call them lol

I'd say the "essentials" are a good pair of breeches (these will run your $60 at the least), paddock boots (usually $100+), and well-fitting helmet (anywhere from $50-$200, depending on the style and brand). Half chaps aren't necessary, I usually ride in a pair of knee socks over my breeches. Any shirt will work, so long as it allows you to move freely. Shop around and see what you can find, you don't always need to spend a ton of money to find something comfy and safe! Have fun and good luck ;)

BQ: Personally, I ride in Kerrits tights (around $60 because I fit into kids sizes XD soo comfy!) or Elation breeches ($60, women's sizes), Ariat Heritage paddock boots ($109), and a Troxe Reliance ($160). However, I used to ride in a Dakota which is only $54.

When I'm just hanging around the barn, I'll just wear whatever I'd normally be wearing that day (normally shorts or leggings if its hot, jeans or sweatpants if its cold). I wear either my paddock boots or running shoes, normally boots since they protect my toes and keep my feet out of the mud XD It I'm mucking out I'll wear rain boots to keep shavings out of my feet!!

So..

This is a good guide with a step-by-step method to get your hair back http://hairagain.toptips.org/

Male hair loss is the most common type of hair loss.It's caused by increased sensitivity to male sex hormones (androgens) in certain parts of the scalp, and is passed on from generation to generation. There are many factors that can attribute to hair recession or massive hair fall. You can try to regain your full head of healthy hair by following natural methods: they are cheaper, they have no side effect and very often more effective than conventional one.

As said above an interesting guide you can follow to get your hair back and prevent future hair loss without dangerous chemicals and drugs, and without expensive supplements or painful hair transplants is available on this site: http://hairagain.toptips.org/

Have a nice day

I'd get a couple pair of breeches and paddock boots. You could go with half chaps if you wanted. For a top, polo shirts are fine for warm weather. Cooler weather, turtlenecks and vest are good. Cold weather, layers of comfortable cloths.

As for a helmet, I'd go with which ever fit the best and was most comfortable.

I kept my horses at home and rode western, so I rode in boots & jeans and whatever shirt fit the weather.

Have fun!

Your helment sounds fine to me, let me keep it nice and simple :) buy cream jodhpurs or any color also breechers Or sticky bum jodhpurs are super comfy! Since your not showing you can buy some paddock boots or synthetic jodhpurs boots there really good and shiny :) polo tops are expensive at horse shops but if you really want one buy one! Other than that just wear your normal top ! Good luck and good riding :) equestrian for life x

You need a specialty store because of your upper dimensions. I will gladly measure you. btw - Hi Big Nasty! BQ: I own several. Sometimes I crap myself so 1 pair is never enough.
