Recommended Equestrian Riding Apparel

Here are some apparel items that I recommend. Clicking on the pictures will take you to Amazon.com or other stores where I am an affiliate to  purchase it. These items were chosen by me because they are quality items that I can safely recommend.
Women's and Men's Breeches

I recommend Dover Saddlery's selection of breeches. My husband, daughters, students, and I have purchased our apparel from Dover for years and have never had a bad experience. They have a wide selection, and rapid shipment. Click here to go to Dover. 

TuffRider Ladies' Schooling Tights - Moisture Wicking, Shrink Proof
​

​These tights are perfect to combine with your everyday outfit; made of 92% polyester and 8% spandex to prevent skin irritation and unwanted hives. The ventilated tights come in a contemporary pull-on, low-rise stretched waistband to suit all body types.

TuffRider Ladies Starter LowRise Pull-On Knee Patch Breeches

These riding breeches are designed for schooling with their effortless pull-on style and cotton/spandex fabric combo that is soft enough to ride in all day.

For performance, included on these knee patch breeches are UltraGripp knee patches, grippy faux leather patches that prevent slipping in the saddle.
​

Kerrits Performance Tight Flow Rise
​

Summer’s all about comfort, and riding pants don’t get more comfy than these. These luxuriously soft, supremely breathable tights feature thoughtfully-placed seams that never chafe and always flatter for an unsurpassed fit that’s earned the loyalty of riders across the disciplines for 25 years.

Romfh Ladies Champion 3-Button Full Seat Breech
Champion fabric is a real "work horse", a tough combo of cotto and stretch micro-nylon called Dura-Dry. Dura-Dry wears like iron, yet is as lightweight and comfortable as our famous International fabric. Even on the hottest day you will feel dry and comfortable. The Champion also features "Curve Fit", a special cut to reduce any "gapping" at the back waist, nipped in at the waist and cut fuller through the seat and thigh. Perfect for the curvy girls! 3 button high-rise, lightweight woven with stretch ankle.

NOBLE OUTFITTERS ATHLETIC SHIRT

Noble Outfitters makes athletic wear that is durable, attractive, and reasonably priced. This pullover mock turtle neck, long sleeved shirt is lightweight, stretchy, and very comfortable. The flat seam construction works to minimize chaffing distractions when riding and working, while the Opti-Dry technology wicks moisture away for a comfortable experience.

Perform in comfort this summer with this breathable shirt for training or show. The main polyester fabric will dry out quickly and has added UV protection. The mesh details under the long sleeves keep you even cooler than traditional polo shirts. 

ARIAT PADDOCK BOOT

​When you're in the market for a paddock boot, don't fool around: Buy Ariat paddock boots. They are remarkable tough, comfortable, and last forever. For men and women.

SAXON SIMPLICITY BOOT

​These are pretty good everyday boots. The leg part of the boot is made of a suede-like fabric so they act as chaps. The foot part of the boot is synthetic leather which wipes clean. Reasonably priced.

MOUNTAIN HORSE FIRENZE DRESS BOOT

​These are great dressage dress boots. The thing to remember about dressage boots is that they are VERY STIFF in the ankle. Don't expect to be able to walk comfortably or squat in them. But they will help keep your leg in position in the saddle. 

ARIAT FIELD BOOT

For hunter jumpers. Can't go wrong with these. Ariat is a great brand. Their boots are comfortable and last forever. For men and women.

ROMFH RIDING VEST

SLENDERIZING! This quality vest gives you a polished look at clinics and shows in which the judge decides to be reasonable and let you remove your heavy wool jacket. It features a bit of sparkle by way of genuine Swarovski crystals on the collar and pockets. I love this vest!
