What safety gear and dress does my child need?

Question

Accepted Answer

SANESA Rules (2026), section 6 (discipline rules can add more):

An approved hard hat with a three-point harness, and correct footwear (shoes with a heel), whenever mounted.
Jodhpurs or breeches, preferably beige, cream or white. Black or navy jodhpurs are not allowed in any discipline.
School shirts or shirts with sleeves and collars (with or without a school tie), golf shirts, school blazers or school tracksuit tops are acceptable in all classes (Level 7 may have different discipline rules).
Black gaiters, or chaps that look like gaiters, are allowed; no other chaps.
Long hair neatly tied back, preferably in a hairnet.
Rider number on the left side (unless the discipline says otherwise): a cloth band 10 cm wide with numbers at least 6 cm high.
Some school attire (shirt and tie, blazer, waistcoat, or a numnah with the school logo) is highly recommended.
Level 0 riders may not wear spurs.
A divided skirt (culottes) may be worn for religious reasons.

Tack must follow the relevant discipline association's rules, and triangular reins are not allowed in any discipline.
