Riders in the equestrian field wear only 2 kinds of boots they are either long cut or short cut boots. Long cut boots cover a persons whole lower leg right before the knee and the low cut boots only cover a few inches above the knee. Sort of like a basket ball shoe but made of leather with a little heel. Both boots though have heels since this is needed when kicking the horse in the stomach which is a signal for them to move or go faster when moving already.
You can also add one accessory to your boots its called spurs. Spurs are metal fixtures that are supposed to be connected to the back side of the foot, outside of the boot. This makes it easier for the rider to kick the horse in the belly since they would need less effort to make the horse feel the kick.
Either kind whether low cut or short cut is good. They both do the same things. Both leather and have a little bit of a heel. The only thing is in formal equestrian you need long cut boots since its part of the attire.
Here are some samples of high cut and low cut boots :)

ALLERGY :(((
My allergies started yesterday morning and still haven't stopped until now super itchy my feet my calves and my toes :((( i drank so much virlix already hopefully it subsides soon its been 24 hours already:(
Bumps Bruises and much much more...
I want to share to people that horseback riding has much risk specially when it some to safety. Our health as human beings are majorly jeopardized once we ride on the back of a horse. This is because we never know how the horse can react and what the horse can do. The fact is that a horse is still an animal and all animals are not rational. These horses we ride on everyday are as unpredictable as can be thus putting are lives at risk.
Many known people have been injured all their lives due to falling from a horse. The first person who comes to mind is Christopher Reeve he became a vegetable due to one hard fall form his horse. Riding a horse is no joke. One not so known fact i can share with everyone not so familiar with horses is that horses can smell when the rider is nervous or unsure of himself/herself. There is a certain hormone that we humans emit through our pores when we are nervous or unsure of what we are doing. Once the horse smells that his/her rider feels this way even they now feel uneasy as well making them even more unpredictable. So just a little tip when riding a horse even if you don't know how just try to act as if your okay, for your own sake hahah :)
