Question about working with horses?

I am going to be working with horses and kids at a program that my church is involved with. The ladies that run the program told me that I should get some kind of shoes or boots with leather, just in case a horse were to step on me. I didn't want to spend too much money because this is so temporary and I'm only 16, so I bought a pair of hiking shoes with a steel toe and leather in the upper part, with a anti-slip grip on the bottom. Is this okay for horse-riding and stuff?
okay now what am i supposed to do? should i just ride with tennis shoes?

I can attest to the steel toed boots not being a good idea since I've seen the nightmare of trying to separate the steel from the crushed toes when I worked as a nurse.
You could ride in sneakers...it's done all the time, although it isn't safe either. Without a heel to stop it, your foot can slip right through the stirrup. Be sure to keep only the first 1/3 of your foot (the ball forward) in the stirrup if you do wear them. If it's not too late, return the shoes you bought and get something of a narrower hiking boot without the steel.
