  Equestrian breeches and riding pants - equestrian store Equishop

  Equestrian breeches are a special type of pants designed for horseback riding. They have no seams on the inner side, fit tightly to the body, and have a grip that improves the rider's adhesion to the saddle and provides a stable seat. The offer of riding breeches is very rich, which should allow every rider to find something for themselves. In the offer of our equestrian store Equishop, you will find classic horseback riding breeches with a full or knee grip (also called a short grip), and a vast variety of equestrian leggings.

  For competitions we recommend choosing equestrian breeches in white or other soft color, made of technical fabrics, which ensure high comfort of use. The choice of the grip type depends on the rider's preferences. If you want maximal adhesion in the saddle, you should pick breeches with a full grip. If you prefer more freedom, you should go for a short leather grip. A perfect type of pants for training sessions would be equestrian leggings, which are both comfortable and versatile.

  Women’s and men’s riding breeches – adjusted to the rider

  With the growth of the equestrian industry, the range of riding apparel is expanding. Today, it comes as no surprise that when gathering riding clothes, one can choose contoured women's breeches or men's breeches, thus avoiding the inconvenience of riding in universal pants. Moreover, riding pants - for both men and women - also differ from one another. In order to suit different preferences, women's breeches can be high-waisted or with a silicone grip; you will find them in a variety of colors and patterns in stores such as Equishop. After all, riding is supposed to be fun and in this sport the aesthetics is extremely important. There is a reason why breeches for riding competitions (usually classy, white, high-waisted ones) and pants for recreational riding look different.

  Flexible and comfortable breeches for children

  Each year, more and more young horse enthusiasts join the equestrian world. Because of that, riding pants for children needed to be created - they are characterized by high flexibility and comfort, as the youngest riders grow quickly. In this case there are also gender differences, thus you can order either girl's or boy's breeches for your child. On the other hand, in the adolescence period, breeches for teenagers will come in handy. These include, for example, ladies' breeches for teenage girls by Pikeur in pink, orange, beige and other standard colors. In terms of popularity, Horze breeches are also among the top ones.

  Riding breeches for summer and winter - riding pants for every season

  In the Equishop equestrian store you will find riding pants adapted to different seasons - from insulated breeches with a full grip suspenders for the freezing winter, to light breeches for the summer, which allow the skin to breathe, and the material wicks sweat away even on the hottest days.

  Half chaps

  Half Chaps

  The simplest definition of half chaps would be the rider’s protectors.

  You put them on in order to protect your calves from chafing that might be caused by the saddle or stirrup leathers. Chaps protect the rider from dirt and the horse’s sweat.

  Half chaps reach up to the knee. Usually, they are fastened with a zipper at the back of the leg and strengthened with rubber that makes fastening them easier and causes the chaps to perfectly fit the calves. Half chaps are profiled on the inside so that they fit the rider’s legs anatomically. At the tip, they have a snap, which prevents the zipper from unfastening. On the front, the chaps are specially fitted to be compatible with riding boots. Chaps have elastic inserts that go over the chaps (namely under the heel) in order to prevent the chaps from rolling up while riding. Equestrian chaps can be made of natural leather, synthetic leather, or other synthetic material.

  How to properly fit half chaps to the rider’s leg?

  1. Take a tape measure.

  2. Sit on a chair, bend your leg at a 90 degrees angle – your foot should lay flat on the ground and touch it with the whole surface.

  3. Chaps height – measure the leg’s height from the floor to the back of the knee.

  4. Chaps width – measure the calf in the widest point.

  Well-fitting horse riding half chaps cannot be too high so that they do not restrict the rider’s movements and cause pain by squeezing while riding. While buying new equestrian chaps, you need to remember that leather wears out with use, which may cause them to shorten up to 2 cm, which is why they also cannot be too short when new.

  Tip: While trying out new chaps, you should pay attention so that they are not too high when standing up (if they stick above the knee while looking from a side), or too short (way below the bend at the back of the knee). If you can, try them on while sitting on a chair or in a saddle, bend the knee and take a position that would allow you to check if the chaps are comfortable enough.

  Riding gloves

  Gloves are one of the smallest elements of a rider’s equipment, but nonetheless important. The main task of gloves is to protect the skin and to prevent the reins from slipping from the rider’s hands while riding. Equestrian gloves are also useful during unfavorable weather.

  They look like regular gloves but they are much more. On the inner side, they are strengthened with e.g. leather inserts that prevent them from tearing and wearing out. Unlike traditional gloves, equestrian gloves have velcro closures placed on the back of the hand. The material of which the gloves are made must allow for full freedom of movements of the fingers. Most equestrian gloves are made of leather, synthetic materials, or high-quality leather-like materials that fit the hands like a second skin. We recommend neoprene, rubber gloves for stable chores that are easy to clean from all types of dirt.

  Gloves, designed for everyday use might be difficult to keep in perfect condition, which is why they usually come in soft colors such as: black, navy blue, brown, gray. An exception is gloves that come in white and are used during competitions and serve both as a protective and decorative device.

  In Equishop online store you will find equestrian gloves from producers such as: Roeckl, Samshield, Kingsland, RSL, Busse.

  Horse riding helmets

  Riding helmet - Equishop equestrian store

  Horse riding is a wonderful and rewarding sport, not only because you get to spend time with a horse, but also because you can achieve your goals and overcome obstacles. Nevertheless, horse riding is a highly dangerous sport, which is why it is crucial to protect the most vulnerable parts of the rider’s body.

  A riding helmet is undoubtedly the most fundamental piece of equipment for any rider - not only the advanced one, but also for those new to the discipline. Analysis of injuries are unanimous – head is one of the most prone to injury parts of the rider’s body while falling down. Even the mildest head injury is incredibly dangerous to the rider’s health and life. However, with proper protection you will be able to minimize the risk of skull damage in an extreme situation.

  Equestrian helmet - construction and wear

  A riding helmet consists of a shell that is made of durable materials such as polycarbonate. The helmet’s shell provides head coverage and features chin straps that you attach to keep the helmet stable on your head. The helmet should also have a ventilation system that would channel the excess of heat to the outside through air outlets, ensuring comfort of the rider.

  In order for a riding helmet to fulfill its most important role, namely protecting the rider’s head, it must fit correctly on the head, i.e. it must not be loose or too tight. A riding helmet that does not fit correctly on the head will not perform its function in the event of a fall. Each helmet’s producer has different ways of adjusting the helmet to the rider's head. Samshield helmets are adjustable with interchangeable liners that are made of sponge with a memory-shape property and conform to the rider's head. Uvex equestrian helmets are equipped with a 3D IAS system which allows you to adjust the size to your head with a knob at the back. This way of adjusting the riding helmet is also used by other brands, such as Busse. During your next ride, make sure you are wearing a properly fitted riding helmet.

  Horseback riding helmets - features

  You can borrow a riding helmet from your riding school, but if you want to continue learning, it's advisable to buy your own, new helmet. The best helmet is one that fits snugly on the rider's head. Additional features, such as a wide brim or design details appeal to the riders when choosing a new helmet.

  Professional horseback riding helmets have properties that minimize the effects of falling from a horse. The inner shell of Samshield helmets is made of variable-density polystyrene, which provides better dissipation of the energy produced during impact. The MIPS technology used in Uvex horseback riding helmets offers extra protection by allowing a sliding movement of the helmet's layers to reduce the rotational motion in the event of a fall.

  Equestrian helmets - international safety standards

  When choosing a new helmet, pay attention to the safety standards it has. Equestrian helmet manufacturers are required to produce helmets that meet at least one of the three international equestrian safety standards: PAS015: 2011, VG1 01.040 2014-12 and ASTM F1163: 2015.

• Riding jackets

  Equestrian jacket

  It is difficult to imagine horseback riding during fall or winter or bad atmospheric conditions without a jacket. It is most definitely a necessary element of a rider’s equipment.

  Riding coats

  Ladies' coat for horse riding is a peculiar, but very useful element of equestrian wardrobe.

  What a riding coat is?

  Ladies' riding coat is different from a regular ladies' coat. Ladies' riding coats, as well as those for men, have long zips on the sides, and if a rider unzips them, he or she gets a freedom of movements, so they can easily mount a horse without catching the saddle with the coat, and its material will protect their thighs against cold or rain in the case of a rain coat. Płaszcz damski do jazdy konnej różni się od zwykłego płaszcza damskiego. 

  When to wear a riding coat?

  Riding rain coat is perfect for rainy days. Unzipped sides cover the rider's thighs due to which your breeches will stay dry and your ride will be more pleasant. Ladies' winter riding coat also has zips on its sides, so you can also use them for horse riding. Such coats are perfect for autumns and winters, you can use them while lunging your horse, or works in the stable.

  Riding socks

  Equestrian socks

  That is the part of the wardrobe that most of us use every day for hygienic and practical reasons. In horse riding – either training or working in a stable, we spend many hours in socks. This is why it is so important for the socks to be comfortable, nice to the touch, and of high quality.

  The mixture of synthetic fibers that equestrian socks are made of provides long-term comfort and tight fit to the rider’s calf and foot, at the same time efficiently draining moisture to the outside. As a result, your feet will stay dry even during intense physical effort and efficiently protected from exposure.

  The alternative for equestrian socks are knee socks, that come directly on breeches. Socks for the season of spring and summer are made of thinner materials that provide better airflow while using on warmer days. On the other hand, winter socks are made of thicker cotton with an admixture of wool to provide warmth. Remember that the product’s composition is always available on the tag or package.

  Producers of equestrian clothing have taken care of a wide variety of socks offer, which is why in Equishop online store you can find equestrian socks from: Kingsland, Animo, Equiline, Samshield, Makebe, Pikeur, Eskadron – for women, men, teens, and kids.

  Polo shirts & t-shirts

  Polo shirts and t-shirts

Among the many models of equestrian t-shirts and polo shirts, you can differentiate offers for women, men, teens, and kids.

  T-shirts are less formal than polo shirts. They are usually made of cotton and other delicate fabrics that are soft and fit the body well. A nice detail is that the models have different necklines: traditional round, crew, V-neck. Close-fit cut t-shirts would be perfect for people who like to highlight their body shapes, while oversize models would meet the expectations of riders who prefer relax and freedom. Sleeveless shirts would be perfect for those who like sporty character and cuts providing full freedom of movements during physical activity.

  Others

  During horse riding, apart from the obvious accessories such as helmet, riding shoes, breeches and equestrian clothing items, very useful are other, minor things. Namely, long knee socks for horse ridings, or hats and caps that are not useful during riding, but they are during stable works.

  Ornaments for competitions

  If you decide to take part in a competition, your outfit and its elegance are crucial. Perfectly fitted show jacket, white breeches and show shirt are the basics, but it is good to complement them with details and decorations, such as a belt for breeches, a tie, plastron or an ornamental hair net or a brooch.

  Competition clothing
• Spurs

  Spurs are metal yoke with a cog worn on riding boots. They help the rider control or activate the horse.

  Spurs are an accessory designed only for experienced riders. They come in different sizes, with ornaments, and some of the models might have a safe trim in shape of a rubber ball. You should buy spurs if your horse requires them, but use them very, very sensibly, as wrong use of this item might bring you way more harm than good.
