Your Ride Will Be Much Better When Using Toggi Jodhpurs

By Marcia Marks


If you are just starting out on a new venture into horse riding, you will have to make sure you are wearing the right clothing for your lessons. Toggi jodhpurs have a great selection of jodhpurs and other riding gear. They also have a range of children's wear including boots, gloves and helmets. The jodhpurs come in different colors, which can make a nice change from white or beige.

There are organizations that provide therapy to special needs children by bringing them into contact with and assisting them with riding specially trained horses. The therapeutic benefits that children with physical and psychological disabilities gain, is often made possible by volunteer instructors. There is a charity organization in South Africa who currently has 12 qualified volunteer instructors and an additional 120 volunteers.

There are many other activities they volunteer in, but one of them is leading the horses and in many cases physically supporting the more severely disabled children on the horse. There is a carefully structured program which allows every child 40 hours free-of-charge riding therapy a year. What an amazing sacrifice these volunteers make to improve the lives of these children.

The reason riding therapy is so good for disabled people is that it exercises over 200 muscles in the body. Balance and posture is improved and it helps with fine and gross motor skills. Apart from the physical benefits, the psychological ones including immediate improvement in self-esteem are gained.

Sometimes when travelling to shows or competitions, the horses may be reluctant to drink water. The owner can try and overcome this by flavoring the water with mint or apple juice. There are also special products on the market designed to help getting a horse to drink water.

It must be both invigorating and soothing to get up in the morning and go out for a long ride on the farm in spring when everything is coming to life after a long winter. Watching the countryside change from day to day and appreciating the beauty of nature at its best is good for one's soul. With the summer months the rains arrive and there are lots of extra precautions a rider needs to take during this time.

In people's busy lives today, there are few who even think of doing volunteer work. Life is so busy, and everyone has their own families to attend to, but this would be a good lesson even for small children to learn if they are able to go with parents when they go and volunteer at these organizations. They would learn how to treat these children and to accept that it is okay to be different.

Whether you ride in the rain or the sun, Toggi jodhpurs stock a range of clothing that will suit any weather conditions. They have a wide range of clothing and accessories, boots and helmets available. Check out their online store or if there is a supplier in your area go and take a look at what they have to offer. You will not be disappointed with what they can supply. You will even be able to kit the children out if they are also into horse riding, or competing. They will be so thrilled when they are dressed up with the right outfit when they arrive at the riding school to impress all their friends and other riders.
