Well if the horse is living out during the day and within at night you will only need a middle freight rug as it never gets that cold in britain. You may also need an indoor rug for the winter but that depends on the type of horse you achieve. With reins its just a matter of what you feel comfortable beside. You will need brushes (Dandy, body, curry comb, comb etc.) A second hand saddle will do whether you are not competing. Bridles are generally quite inexpensive so you could get a trial one. You will have to get stirrup leathers in your length. I would recommend that you get safety stirrup irons as getting your foot stuck when you fall of isn't drastically nice. The bit you get will depend on the horse but snaffle bits are always the best. You will also need a saddle cloth/numnah and a girth of appropriate size. That's something like it. Oh and you will need a head collar and lead rope. Hope this help. Good luck with your horse.
Answers: Saddle, stirrups, stirrup leathers, saddle pad (2), Girth, bridle (which will commonly come with reins but simple rubber reins work best), bit, neck strap, boots, travel boots, tail guard, summer rug, stable rug, lantern weight, heavy weight, fly rug, fly covering, fly spray, exercise sheet, first aid box, head collar, lead rope, body brush, dandy brush, hoof pick, comb, mane and tail de-tangler, sponges, sweat scrapper, body protector, helmet, reflective gear, crop, jodhpurs, gloves. I can't think of much else you'll inevitability. I hope this helps. Good luck. x
halter & good, heavy head rope with a clip you can operate fast & easily, bridle (reins, headstall, bit), saddle & saddle wad, set of brushes ( rubber curry comb, hard brush, soft brush, mane & tail comb or brush), hoof pick, rags to wipe & clean. First aid apparatus. Bucket (rubber or heavy plastic). Saddle soap or conditioner.
You use the term "rug" so I am thinking you are from the U.K. ? Reins depend upon the style of riding you will be doing... western or english. I actually approaching to use a set of roping type reins. They are 1 piece with clips at the bit end. If you are a beginner , you won't drop these close to split reins, and they are easier to keep the same length. You can also ride with one appendage or two.
You might have a friend go with you to the tack shop & look around at equipment. Not everything have to be new. Hit up the tack swaps.
Depends on what kind of riding. English, Western, in a round pen or up contained by the mountains/trail riding? If you go to a local horse shop, they can tell you all you stipulation. Even if you don't buy from there (kind of expensive) you can get a accurate idea of what stuff is. I would order it online if you want to find pious deals, or go to garage sales.
Bare minimum: Bridle, bit, reins, saddle, saddle blanket/pad (or 2), cinch, halter, head rope, curry comb, brush, hoof pick,
You really want to make sure the saddle is one that fits you, but also fits your horse and doesn't pinch his back. If you do a flush there are websites that can help you find the right saddle.
And you want to make certain you wear good pants (jeans) and good shoes/boots
If your doing any characteristics of mountain riding (steep hills) you might want a chest strap, rear cinch, etc.
Your question has be answered by others but i need to add (please dont be offended by this, i'm not self a **, and i dont know your circumstances) but due to the fact your asking this question i dont think your in place to be a horse owner??
You mean tack, basically.
And because you referred to a horse blanket as a "rug", I'm going to guess you're within the UK.
First of all, you need a headcollar (Halter for us in the US).
2. Lead rope
3.) Brushes (Stiff brush, soft brush, rubber curry, mane and tail comb
and a hoof pick.
4.) A honest USED saddle All purpose (European made) that comes
with leathers, irons and girth.
5.) Saddle pad
6.) A European made hunt bridle (You'll have to skulk and find out
what bit your horse works with.)
7.) A pair of brushing boots (We call 'em Splint boots).
And as expected a bucket for grain...
saddle, saddle pad, bridle, halter, lead rope, brush...that's it
