What's important in good riding apparel?
If you want to buy good and functional riding apparel, you should pay attention to several aspects. Below, we have summarized the most important features of good riding apparel for you.
Safety: Protection for the Rider
One of the most important criteria when buying riding apparel is its protective function. Riding equipment such as breeches, jackets, riding gloves, riding boots, or the riding helmet must meet important safety criteria so that you can practice equestrian sports safely. Configurations offer you special and individual protection.
Wearing Comfort and Freedom of Movement
Breeches, riding boots, and outer layers must fit snugly to keep the rider warm while also providing sufficient breathability. At the same time, they should allow the riderthe necessary freedom of movement and impress with an optimal fit. This is the only way you can perfectly feel the horse's movements.
Practicality: Riding Apparel for All Weather Conditions
Riding is not just a fair-weather hobby. True horse lovers are also drawn outdoors in the rain, wind, and cooler temperatures. When buying your riding clothing, therefore, pay attention to weatherproof and functional materials. In our shop, you will find countless riding jackets and functional jackets that have a waterproof and breathable membrane and at the same time allow you unrestricted freedom of movement and maximum climate comfort.

What riding equipment do beginners and advanced riders need?
Anyone who has been bitten by the horse bug for the first time will already need a fair amount of equipment. But don't worry: the investment is worth it. Once you've sat on a horse's back, you'll never want to dismount. Below you'll find a checklist of what to look for in riding equipment for women, men, and children. However, it depends on your current level of experience.
Initial Equipment for Riding Beginners
- Riding Helmet A well-fitting, sturdy riding helmet is essential basic equipment for every rider. It should enclose the head to prevent serious injuries in case of falls. Important: The riding helmet should not slip, as it would otherwise obstruct your vision. In addition, air circulation should be possible to avoid excessive sweating under the helmet. You can also find top brands for riding helmets such as UVEX, Samshield, KEP & Busse in our range.
- Riding Breeches
Riding breeches for womenand menare also a component of standard equipment. The breeches should be seamless to prevent chafing. Women's breeches made of stretch material have proven successful. For men, breeches made of stretchy, functional materials are also available that perfectly adapt to the body shape. A special feature of riding breeches is their seat. A distinction is made between full seat and knee grip. For beginners, breeches with knee grip are sufficient for a start. Meanwhile, riding leggings or breeches with cell phone pockets are even available. The riding breeches from brands such as Samshield, Eskadron, Pikeur, Equestrian Stockholm, Spooks or Maximilian Equestrian are particularly popular.
Even as a riding beginner, you shouldn't get into the saddle in sneakers. The riding bootsprevent your pants from rubbing on the saddle flap or your shoes from getting caught in the stirrups. The safety aspect plays a decisive role here again. Leather riding boots are super durable, which is why it is definitely worth investing in a suitable riding boot model here.

Those who spend a lot of time in the saddle need breeches with a full seat, which covers the inside of the legs and the contact area with the saddle. They offer ideal comfort and grip in the saddle.

Chaps As an alternative to riding boots, so-called chaps, also known as half chaps, have proven their worth. They are the ideal companion for leisure sports. Chapsare significantly more flexible in material and thus allow closer contact with the horse's belly. Show jumpers in particular, who have a strongly bent leg due to the short stirrups, benefit from the flexibility of chaps
Spurs Spurs are curved metal pieces that are attached to the riding bootby means of spur straps. They are intended to refine the rider's leg aids. However, they only belong on the feet of experienced riders
- and should be used with caution. Our absolute favorites are the Sprenger brand spurs. They are not only durable but also offer excellent value for money.

protect your entire body from serious falls. The vests have insulating properties and protect you particularly in the spinal area. Because ultimately you are sitting on a living creature and should always prioritize your safety and the animal's safety.
