Horse riding equipment, refers to all the specific gear needed to ride and interact with a horse. The two primary functions of this technology are communication and safety. It offers a safe and comfortable riding surface and promotes communication between the rider and the horse through a variety of features. Saddles, which give the rider a seat, and bridles with bits, which let the rider steer and control the horse, are typical examples of horseback riding gear. Stirrups for improved leg placement, reins to connect the rider to the bit, and safety equipment such as leg guards for horses and helmets for riders are examples of additional tack.

Uncertainties and swings in the economy, like those brought on by the COVID-19 epidemic, can provide difficulties since they cut into disposable income and influence consumer expenditure on non-essential goods. Manufacturing is made more difficult by legal constraints and environmental worries about the usage of specific materials and industrial techniques. Lastly, the sales of genuine, high-quality equipment are undercut by competition from second-hand marketplaces and counterfeit goods, which has an impact on the profitability of well-known businesses.
Impact of COVID-19 on Europe Horse Riding Equipment Market
The European market for horse riding equipment faced a challenge due to COVID-19. Riding schools were closed, competitions were canceled, and training sessions were restricted due to stringent lockdowns imposed throughout the continent. This resulted in a sharp decline in the need for new gear as rider activity dropped. The effect was especially severe for retailers with low client traffic. Nonetheless, indications of market resiliency are emerging. Resuming equestrian activities and reducing limitations point to a possible restoration to pre-pandemic growth.
