Yes, Easy Ride Stirrups are probably one of the
single best inventions that really help this sport! Can't imagine long

Helmet and Easy Ride stirrups. Secure water carrying system.
First aid pack.(skip the splint boots unless your horse interferes, then
keep checking them to make sur eyou don't get sand, dirt under them--bad
rubs). (Tights to ride in,undies with no seams in delicate area). Maybe
halfchaps--
