Equestrianism (from Latin equester, equestr-, equus, horseman, horse), more often known as riding, horseback riding (American English) or horse riding (British English), refers to the skill of riding, driving, steeplechasing or vaulting with horses.

This broad description includes the use of horses for practical working purposes, transportation, recreational activities, artistic or cultural exercises, and competitive sport.

A riding boot is a boot made to be used for horse riding.

The classic boot comes high enough up the leg to prevent the leathers of the saddle from pinching the leg of the rider, has a sturdy toe to protect the rider's foot when on the ground and has a distinct heel to prevent the foot from sliding through the stirrup.

The sole is smooth or lightly textured to avoid being caught on the tread of the stirrup in the event of a fall.

Breeches (or) are an article of clothing covering the body from the waist down, with separate coverings for each leg, usually stopping just below the knee, though in some cases reaching to the ankles.

The breeches were normally closed and fastened about the leg, along its open seams at varied lengths, and to the knee, by either buttons or by a drawstring, or by one or more straps and buckle or brooches.

Formerly a standard item of Western men's clothing, they had fallen out of use by the mid-19th century in favour of trousers.

Modern athletic garments used for English riding and fencing, although called breeches or britches, differ from breeches in ways discussed below.

A top is an item of clothing that covers at least the chest, but which usually covers most of the upper human body between the neck and the waistline.

The bottom of tops can be as short as mid-torso, or as long as mid-thigh.

Men's tops are generally paired with pants, and women's with pants or skirts.

Common types of tops are t-shirts, blouses and shirts.
