    Horse riders need to wear a certain type of pants whether they compete or ride just for the love of it. Toggi jodhpurs offer a wide range of well designed, comfortable jodhpurs for men, women and children. It is important to the rider and the horse that the right clothing is worn.

    There are organizations that provide therapy to special needs children by bringing them into contact with and assisting them with riding specially trained horses. The therapeutic benefits that children with physical and psychological disabilities gain, is often made possible by volunteer instructors. There is a charity organization in South Africa who currently has 12 qualified volunteer instructors and an additional 120 volunteers.

    Some horse owners are fortunate enough to live on a farm and be able to stable their horses' right there where they live. This makes it easier to take care of the horse and see that they are living a healthy, balanced life. Their stables have to be cleaned regularly, their hooves checked and their coats groomed.

    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.

    Sometimes when travelling to shows or competitions, the horses may be reluctant to drink water. The owner can try and overcome this by flavoring the water with mint or apple juice. There are also special products on the market designed to help getting a horse to drink water.

    Watching a rider who is able to be in sync with her horse is a joy. The discipline and dedication of hours together shines through. These are the two that will take the trophies home on show day.

    There are many horse riders who will not ride in the rain because they think it is dangerous, or are just not willing to try because they are afraid. Fear is a challenging thing in the world of horse riding. Some say they are afraid because they don't want to move forward or do things they are scared to do.

    Horse riding is a wonderful sport, so different to any other. Exposing our children to the world of horses may get them interested in riding themselves. Even just watching equestrian shows on television will give them insight into what horse riding is all about. When they see how smart the Toggi jodhpurs are they will definitely want to be able to wear a pair of the well-fitting, comfortable jodhpurs they see all the other riders wearing.
