    Wear long soft pants that won’t chafe but also aren’t slippery. Avoid shorts as they leave your legs unprotected from brushing against branches or saddle friction. Go for layers as the weather can change quickly and bring a waterproof shell in case of rain. Choose closed-toe shoes with a defined heel or grippy soles to help your feet stay put in the stirrups. Remember to wear sunscreen and bug spray.
