- Weather appropriate clothes; preferably layers; it gets cold in the morning! Remember, we are outside the entire time!
- Hot summer: bring a hat if necessary
- Colder days: bring winter jacket, gloves and a hat - it is never redundant since we do not know what horses have in mind for you (you might be running a lot or standing still).
