Body Protection

More and more riders are adding body protection to their list of riding attire.  Riding vests are designed to protect against injuries caused by compression, like the one you would probably sustain if you were to land on a jump or your horse were to land on you.  While body protectors do little to help you if your fall involves a twist or vertical compression, they are still a good idea if you’re taking part in a discipline like eventing that has a higher chance of a high speed spill.
