Saddle

• The type of saddle and its accessories depend on individual
  choice. Remember, though, that the saddle should be comfortable
  for the horse as well as the rider.

Stirrups

• Should be adjusted so that your knees are slightly bent, but you can still see the tip of your boots while sitting in the saddle. You should also be able to stand in the stirrups and just clear the saddle seat.

Reins

• Should be longer rather than shorter, and heavy enough for the job.

Bits

• Bit selection requires some degree of experience and knowledge of bit types and functions.
