riding equipment

Gear for horseback

Riding equipment is the gear used for horseback riding—saddles, bridles, stirrups, reins, and related items.

The term covers both what the horse wears and what the rider uses to control or stay mounted on the animal.

Also called tack or horse tack in everyday usage: The stable has all the riding equipment you'll need.
