Got thrown out of the saddle by a horse today and got mildly fucked up. I want to invest in more protective gear than just a helmet but there's so many options. I want elbow pads and wrist guards definitely because of the bad scrapes and sprains I got. And maybe some kind of vest to protect me from any gut punches the horn of the saddle will give me if the horse tries to throw me again. My stomach has some nice big bruises from the horn.

Might want to look into dirt bike protective gear. I am personally a fan of Leatt but there are loads of brands to choose from. I have never ridden a horse wearing dirt bike gear but I have hit the ground and trees many, many, times while dirt biking and it has served me well.
