suitable clothing:
jodphurs
sensible top wear (a bit of protection for shoulders and arms)
boots - protects from a horse standing on your foot, if you were wearing trainers this could damage your foot seriously
hat - protects head if you fall.
You could also ride in blue jeans, as western riders do and any shirt will do, unless you are in a show, in which case there are special shirts, pants, chaps (western and English) and head attire, commonly a helmet for English and a cowboy hat for western.
Most wear very comfortable boots, jeans or khakis and a polo or scrub shirt.
Most vet assistants dress in scrubs.
If the rider is riding the horse they wear a bridle and a saddle and if they are outside they wear a flymask and / or a fly sheet or nothing and if they're in the stall they will wear nothing or a horse blanket.

I am a horse-rider myself but I personally would suggest that you ask your local riding school
Yes, it is important for a rider of any age to wear a helmet whenever they are on a horse. Any horse can scare and react in a surprising way and any rider of any age or ability can fall off or be thrown against objects at any time.
Do not use your horn directly behind a horse rider or you will spook the horse. A spooked horse can be dangerous to the rider.
Eric Lamaze is a french horse rider.
The rider of a horse in a race is called a Jockey.
a horse rider is not needed in this case.?
The Horse should work harder than the rider, if the horse is working correctly, this will be the case. The rider does a lot of work to keep the horse going/moving where he should. The rider uses their arms, legs, seat, hands, and weight balance to communicate to the horse. The horse works also since he is the one moving his body in the pace and direction that the rider asks for. Horse and rider are a team.
if you want to overtake a horse rider you do it on the outside !!!
