Protective gear for a rider is certainly very important within the Equestrian discipline, as there is a certain level of danger involved. However, it is just as important to properly care for your horse to prevent injury. Horses are grand creatures, and they carry around a good deal of weight. With too much running and stress, this weight can put a lot of strain upon nimble, yet strong, legs.
In few other competitions, does a horse exert as much energy or experience as much stress as polo. This thrilling sport entails an enormous amount of running for the horse, as well as quick about-turns among other horses, so you should consider using polo bandages to protect the legs from various abrasions and injuries. These can also be used as a substitute for horses that are unable to wear boots, but be aware that polo bandages should not be use in rainy conditions, as they become weighted down with water.

Horse tacking is a critical process for any competition, as the horse provides the basis for the entire show, and must receive proper care. This can be a very involved process, but one that cannot be rushed. Attaching bridles, saddles, open front jumping boots, etc., are all important steps in the preparation procedures.
It is also vital to coordinate the horse's equipment with that of the rider, so that everything works together in one smooth motion. This not only will improve the performance at a show, but also increase the likelihood of safety for both the rider and horse. Support of the horse is critical.
