Toddlers are too small to learn how to ride horses, but they are not too small to want their very own horseback riding outfits. If your toddler is already a horse nut, you can encourage this interest by getting or making your toddler her very own cute horseback riding outfit. Toddler horseback riding outfits are perfect for playing pretend or even going on pony rides at your local petting zoo. Be aware, though, that no child under the age of six should begin horseback riding lessons. Even at a walk, sitting atop a horse can damage your toddler's undeveloped spine.
Cowgirl Horseback Riding Outfits for Toddlers
Cowgirl or cowboy has got to be the most popular horseback riding outfit for kids around the world. Get your toddler a pair of cowgirl boots, jeans and a hat and she is ready to ride. If you want to take things to the next level, you can get her a fringed vest and a sheriff's badge. Your kid will be on her way to becoming a rodeo queen.
Show Jumper Horseback Riding Outfits
If you suspect that your toddler may have a taste for the finer things in life, maybe he would like his own tiny show jumping outfit. Even though kids should not start learning to ride horses until they are at least six years old, the same companies that manufacture grown up jodhpurs and breeches also make tot sized gear just for fun. You can even get your toddler his very own velvet covered riding helmet.
Jockey Horseback Riding Outfits
If your toddler feels the need for speed, make her her very own small jockey's silks. A jockey outfit is a really cute idea for a Halloween costume for a toddler. You can make one out of a pair of white leggings or tights and a shiny, white button up shirt that you sew a few colored patches onto. Add black boots and a helmet and your toddler will be ready to ride to victory.
Trick Rider Horseback Riding Outfits
If your toddler is really into both horses and princess type stuff, then you can make her a riding outfit just like circus performers have. Trick riders perform in outfits that resemble ballet costumes. You can dress your toddler in a leotard, tights and a tutu. Then, you can distinguish her from ballerinas by finding her a little top hat, just like the kind worn by Elvira Madigan, the world's most famous trick rider.
