Possibly being a little premature here as I've only had one lesson so far (I guess most of you probably know that since I've gone on and on about it all weekend) :redface: but I've been looking at Western style riding boots...
However, the ones I've seen are:
a) a tad on the expensive side for someone just starting out.
b) difficult to tell whether they are proper riding boots or fashion boots.
I suppose what I'm after is some general advice on getting my first pair or riding boots - I've always wanted a pair of 'cowboy' boots so Western style appeals but is there much of a difference between the english and western styles in terms of using them to ride?
Are there any particular makes at the cheaper end of the price range I should be looking at? Any good websites which mighht give me an idea? etc.
I probably need to invest in a hat as well...
