Can you use running sneakers to ride a horse?
It’s recommended that you wear boots with a heel to ride. This helps prevent your foot from slipping through the stirrup and getting caught if you were to fall off. A sturdy pair of boots also helps protect your foot when you’re on the ground, if the horse happens to step on your foot, which they sometimes do! Whatever you wear when riding, always remember to keep your heels down. That helps keep your foot from getting caught too.
