Horse riding requires a number of essential items to ensure you ride safely and comfortably. Here’s a summary of our top picks:
Riding Helmet
It's crucial to wear a riding helmet that has been fitted by a professional. You can choose from a variety of styles, ranging from skull caps to fixed peaks.
Riding Leggings
Riding leggings are a great choice for your lower half, as they’re comfortable and practical. We recommend choosing leggings with a silicone grip for extra security in the saddle. Many riders opt for leggings with a phone pocket, so you can keep your phone on you while riding—particularly useful if you’re by yourself. Be sure to check out our range of riding leggings, which feature a versatile design that can also be worn for other sporting activities.
½ Zip Sweatshirt
We recommend a ½ zip sweatshirt for riding, especially during the colder months. This allows you to add an extra layer while warming up, which can easily be removed over your helmet once you’re warm enough, without needing to take your helmet off. Check out our ½ zip sweatshirts here.
Riding Boots
It’s important to wear properly fitted boots, with traditional riding boots or jodhpur boots being the most popular options. Make sure they fit correctly and have a small heel. We recommend consulting a professional to ensure you have the right fit.
I hope you find this helpful when planning your next riding outfit!
