HORSEBACK RIDING

Bridle and Reins - Bridle is equipment or a set of leather straps placed on the
head to the mouth of the horse while reins are long leather straps that are being
held by someone riding the horse to serve as a controller. The main purpose of
these tools is to allow the rider to control the horse's head and the speed and
direction of the horse.

Saddle - It is a supportive structure for a rider of an animal, fastened to a horse's


back by a girth. It helps the rider to stay on the horse and provides comfort for both the horse and the rider.

Riding Gloves - These tools are pairs of hand gear that help the horseback riders to have a tight grip on the reins
attached to the bridle. It avoids the sliding of the reins from your bare hands when it sweats which may lead to
mishandling the strap that causing fall accidents.

Equestrian Helmet - This helmet was specially designed for horseback riding to protect the rider's head in the event
of falls from a horse, especially from striking a hard object while falling or being accidentally struck in the head by a
horse's hoof.

rubber or other synthetic material.

you stay afloat in water.

wearer's feet dry faster, keeps the shoe light, and prolongs the lifespan of the material.

Canoeing Paddles: The paddles for canoeing are different from that for kayaking: the two paddles have different
lengths. The shorter paddle goes in the front and the longer paddle goes in the rear. The rear rower is typically power

underwater. It also covers your nose to keep water out. Masks are
made of thick plastic or glass, with rubber on the outside to keep
them airtight around the nose and eyes.

Snorkel: Device used for breathing air from above the surface when
the wearer's head is facing downwards in the water with the
mouth and the nose submerged. It may be either separate or
integrated into a swimming or diving mask.

Snorkeling Fins: Allow you to swim efficiently without over-exerting yourself. It gives you the power to overcome
currents and waves, and the control to navigate around coral and wildlife. In some cases, fins will also give you a bit
of extra buoyancy.

Wetsuit: It traps a layer of water against your skin that your body warms. The lower you dive and the deeper the
water is, the less the water temperature becomes. Wetsuits also provide UV protection from the sun if your back is
revealed at the top of the water for long periods of time.
