Got thrown out of the saddle by a horse today and got mildly fucked up. I want to invest in more protective gear than just a helmet but there’s so many options. I want elbow pads and wrist guards definitely because of the bad scrapes and sprains I got. And maybe some kind of vest to protect me from any gut punches the horn of the saddle will give me if the horse tries to throw me again. My stomach has some nice big bruises from the horn.
All of them. If something offers protection, might as well wear it.

Jokes aside, there can be too much safety gear, especially if it gets in the way of building technique.
Some people really like to ride their horses.
