Horseback Riding For Kids - Keeping Them Safe

!±8± Horseback Riding For Kids - Keeping Them Safe

Safety gear is critical not only for the health and well being of your children, but also for your own personal sanity. Who needs the stress of worrying about your kids, while they're out having a great time? Additionally, safety knowledge evolves over time (sadly, often out of tragedy), and technology evolves and matures, that often gets applied to safety gear in new and innovative ways, so you should take advantage of it. Take skiing for example. Speaking for myself, I never wore a helmet when I was growing up. In fact, I never wore one until I had kids and had the opportunity to get them up on the slopes, and realized that I need to make them wear one, not only to protect them from themselves, but also to protect them from the other yahoos flying down the slopes at something close to Mach I. So that's evolution in thinking. Biking has evolved even more such that the law in many places requires wearing helmets. The focus on safety and the quality and variety of safety equipment available today in all sports and recreation is orders of magnitude better than when I was a child, and it continues to evolve.

Horseback riding is no different. Consider the following:

Horses are animals and inherently unpredictable. Horses out-weigh horse kids on the order of 20 times. Beginning horse kids by definition have little or no control of the animal. Horse kids do not have enough strength to regain control if something does happen. Horse kids are inevitably surrounded by other horse kids, and other horses, over whom they have zero control.

In fact I would argue that particularly for horse kids, safety equipment is the single most important acquisition you can make to ensure their enjoyment and comfort, and your own peace of mind. So what do you need to start? The answer is simple - a helmet, and boots. Just like buying a bike helmet, ski helmet, motorcycle helmet, etc - there are many different manufacturers, models, colours, with some variations in style, and considerable variations in price. I've seen them priced anywhere from to about 0. Average price is in the - range, and of course you tend to pay more for helmets designed to be worn in shows or competitions. Troxel and International Riding are the most popular brands around where we are, and the Troxel Sierra (tan) is by far the most popular with local horse kids at the moment. If it is the very first time riding, many people will simply use a bike helmet they already own, until they determine whether or not their child is going to become a real horse kid.

Now I was naive enough to believe that buying boots was going to be a simple task. Pick up the kids a pair of cowboy boots, and we're done. Silly me. Paddock boots, field boots, who boots, western boots, English boots, hunt boots. Sigh. I'll write an article on the different types of boots and when or why you need them when I have some time, but from a safety perspective, there are 4 important characteristics:

A distinct heel to prevent the foot from slipping through the stirrups on the saddle. A sturdy toe (steel if possible) to protect the riders feet while on the ground, particularly from random hoof movements. Non-slip sole. High cut enough to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider.

Most cowboy boots will do, but note that a lot of kids boots don't have very sturdy toes, and some have no heel on them. You may decide you can live without a steel-toed boot, but I wouldn't risk a riding boot with no heel. Frye, Ariat, Roper, and Smokey Mountain seem to be the brands with the best reputation that we've discovered thus far.

And that's it. Your horse kid is ready to go for

How to Wear Boots with Style

!±8± How to Wear Boots with Style

Boots are one of my favorite things about winter - once the novelty of snow and sweaters has worn off, anyway.

Boots can be practical or sexy, although rarely both in the salt-laden streets of harsh winter climates. Speaking of which...

While it may often seem like store clerks are just trying to boost their commissions by ringing up protective sprays and gels, their sales gimmick is not totally bogus.

It is essential to understand that not all boots are created equal. The word 'boot' is not synonymous with water-proof or snow-friendly. Respect your fashion investment by weather-protecting and cleaning all of your winter footwear regularly.

Realize that protective and restorative shoe applications cannot perform miracles. Have the common sense to know when to air on the side of practicality and not to wear your suede stiletto calf-cut boots. Salt and water produce damaging, lasting stains which - in addition to ruining boots' finish - actually corrode the integrity of genuine suede, leather and fabric. Purchase a swank boot bag in which to tote your trendy footwear to work in nasty winter conditions while opting for damage-proof snow or rain boots while en route.

Boot Tip: If you remember nothing else: Be seasonally consistent when putting an outfit together. Do not wear boots and a skirt with bare legs; tights, nylons, or even flesh colored fishnet stockings help bridge the (thermal & fashion) gap between your knees and your hemline.

Ankle Boots

Very funky footwear when worn with tights and a skirt. Avoid wearing ankle boots with long skirts past the knee - this tends to look frumpy and matronly.

Mid-Calf Boots

A unique cut that looks great with skirts of all lengths. This style accentuates your calf muscle and stands out from the crowd of knee-high boots. Very sexy, indeed.

Tall Boots

The classic knee-high boot. Ensure that the boot fits snugly around your leg; if the boot gapes open you may need to have it altered for a more chic look—a standard procedure at most cobblers.

Fur-Lined Boots & UGGs

Narrow, fur-lined lace-up tall boots are a sweet accompaniment to a flirty short skirt. For a funky casual style, try wearing knee socks over your tights and letting them peek (ever so slightly) over the top of your boot. This look works best if your socks and tights are contrasting colors.

UGGs have become all the rage as the surfer-type's (and urban wanna-be surfer type's) winter foot-wear of choice. These robust, wooly sheepskin boots have been fashioned for years by Australian craftsmen, and were first mass introduced to North America in 1978 by Brian Smith, a young Australian surfer seeking to spread the UGG-love across the United States.

Twenty-five years later, and while UGGs aren't exactly the height of chic sophistication or glamorous sexiness, they are hailed by wearers as the ultimate in comfort and warmth at 30 below.

Caring For Your Leather Boots

!±8± Caring For Your Leather Boots

You've paid good money for those perfect leather boots, you're thrilled with the way they look and feel and they're so comfortable you want to wear them all day, every day. These boots are going to go through every kind of punishment the elements and real life can throw at them. So how do you keep them looking as if they've just come out of the box for the first time?

The beauty of leather is that it develops its own patina as it ages. It's an organic material that stretches and shapes to your contours, fitting literally like a second skin. But in exactly the same way as your own skin will look dull and tired if you don't care for it, so will leather. It needs that occasional bit of tender loving care to keep it looking in top condition. The most obvious way to keep your boots looking perfect is to polish them regularly. Not only will this improve the look of your boots and protect them from scuffmarks, but it will also help to weatherproof the surface of the leather and shield them from the elements.

If you really want to make sure your boots will be as water-resistant as possible, invest in a tin of dubbin. This is a traditional leather 'feed' made from natural wax, oil and tallow and is used to soften, condition and waterproof leather. It's different from shoe polish as it does not contain any pigment, so if you want to restore the colour of your boots, a good buff with corresponding shoe polish will restore the beauty of the leather whilst the dubbin will add a protective layer to the surface. Treat your boots regularly with this and you'll find that the surface retains its shine and your feet stay dry, even in reasonably heavy rain.

If you've invested good money in a pair of quality leather boots, a worthwhile addition is a pair of boot 'trees'. These simple devices slot into your boots when you're not wearing them, maintaining their shape and preventing them from sagging and creasing when not in use.

There are different types of leather that may not be suitable for polishing or using leather feed products like dubbin. Patent leather is best cared for using a soft polishing cloth. Marks on the surface can be removed by gently rubbing with a damp cloth and then buffing the leather back to its original shine with a soft, dry cloth. Try to avoid using kitchen cloths, as the surface of these is much more abrasive than you realise and may leave permanent marks on the leather.

Some boots are designed using 'antique' leather. This is designed to have a worn or 'aged' look and dark or light marks can usually be removed by gently rubbing the leather with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh brushes, as the bristles will scratch the surface of the leather, damaging the skin and leaving permanent marks.

As with your own skin, leather is easily damaged by direct heat, so never try to dry your boots out with a direct heat source such as a hairdryer. The surface of the leather will shrink from the hide, causing it to crack and leading to permanent damage to the surface. Alternatively, extreme cold can also make the leather brittle and susceptible to cracking, so try to protect your leather boots from extreme temperature changes.

If you take care of your leather boots they should last you for many years to come, making them a permanent addition to your wardrobe and giving you years of comfort, protection and style.

Frye Boots - Footwear typical American

!±8± Frye Boots - Footwear typical American

There are very few products available today that are truly, uniquely American. The cars are manufactured by American companies, are made of steel from Korea and Poland and have engines that were (and probably fabricated) technology in Japan. Even products that are generally thought to himself as an American not often. A notable exception to this trend is the Frye Company, a manufacturer of boots Frye, shoes and bags. Founded in 1863 by John Frye, who holds the distinction ofcontinuous along the shoe and boot manufacturer in the United States.

The typical way American companies Frye is even more interesting if a little is known about the background of the company and many types of customers they served. Both Confederate and Union soldiers wore Frye boots during the Civil War. Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders wore during the Spanish-American War. Many pioneers depended on the duration of Frye bootslong journey to the West. General Patton wore Frye boots during the Second World War.

The Campus Frye boot was introduced in 1960 again. Modeled after the original design 1860, was immediately taken away from the boat of choice for many who were in the cultural revolution of the decade. Frye boots were simply to have "inside" things. In fact, there is a pair of Frye Campus boots on display at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC as part of an exhibition of famous products1960! The Frye Engineer Boot is a favorite with customers of all walks of life eternal and styles.

So who goes to buy Frye shoes and boots these days, perhaps only for a product that offers great company search value. You may like a true American product made in America to buy American. Perhaps only love shoes and boots, made the best of available materials well. But perhaps you are enjoying the very idea that there is a good pieceHistory and background of each pair of Frye boots and shoes that are sold. Put on a pair and see if you feel it too.
