How much is English riding gear Helmets, pants and boots

I don't know if it matters but for Orange County, CA. Thanks

If you aren't interested in showing, you can just get some basic schooling gear. My Troxel schooling helmet was approximately $30, and it has lasted me several years and protected me through all of my clumsiness. If you DO want to show, you can always buy a velvet cover to put over the schooling helmet, which keeps you from having to buy a second one for showing.

The pants can be inexpensive or very expensive. Try looking for a tack shop that has a consignment area. I've found several nice pairs of breeches from consignment shops, but there's no guarantee. If you buy from a catalog, look for knee patch breeches (synthetics and self patches are the least expensive) instead of full-seat--they're less expensive, and I'd assume that they're cooler in the summer. Once again, if you think you're going to show, either get two pairs of breeches (which is a good idea either way) or buy one pair in a color that's appropriate for the show ring.

Boots are probably the most expensive. I just bought a pair of synthetic tall boots for about $80. They don't look bad, though; a friend noticed them at a recent show and complimented on how soft and supple the "leather" looked. However, other types (the custom leather ones) can skyrocket to $600 and up! A majority of leather tall boots are between $100 and $150 for a pretty good pair. If you aren't planning on showing, you might want a pair of paddock boots (Usually only young children wear them in the show ring, but anyone can wear them in schooling.) and maybe some half chaps. If you want to show, though, just get a pair of tall boots and take good care of them.
