Loose fitting clothes (especially shirts) can be a bad idea when your first learning to ride for more than one reason. My sister was taking riding lessons and was dismounting. Her instructor told her to lean forward, swing her leg over the back of the horse and slide down to the ground. She did but her shirt got caught on the saddle horn and then her bra got caught on the saddle horn. My sister came off the horse okay but left half her clothing. My sister was a grown woman of 40 plus years and needless to say quite embarrassed.

PS. If she knew I was sharing this story on line right now, this would probably be my last post anywhere, ever, this side of the pearly gates.
