How many of you out there actually wear body protectors when riding, competing or just exercising your horse in the field or in a lesson?
If you do wear one what do you think of it, what made you wear it and do you think they should be compulsory in riding lessons? (Actually any body protector related thoughts are welcome)
And if you don't wear one and have strong feelings about why you don't, please share.
I ask because my wife and I are thinking about getting one each but over here they are damn hard to get hold of and about 3 times the price they would be in Europe or America.
Thanks
