Short Riding Coats & Jackets

Short riding coats and jackets are essential to equestrians’ winter layering. They are designed to protect you from cold and wind without restricting your movements while riding, grooming your horse, watching or teaching a riding lesson, etc. You can wear them over a riding gilet and combine them with weatherproof breeches for riding in the rain.

Short riding jackets and coats are waterproof but breathable, helping regulate your body temperature. They keep you dry, comfortable, and cosy while you wear them. Most models feature taped seams, weather flaps, and storm cuffs for enhanced water and wind protection. It’s important to be comfortable when doing manual chores, but it’s even more important not to feel stiff when riding and, modern designs like softshell riding coats and jackets, built from flexible materials like 4-way stretch fabrics, are specially conceived for that purpose.

Sport riding coats are also stylish and perfect for wearing over your competition jacket while you ride and train at home or in the yard. There are plenty of equestrian casual jackets that are also great for non-equestrian activities. At Discount Equestrian, we are horsepersons ourselves, so we are aware of equestrians’ needs and face the same challenges as you do every time we are outside riding. That’s why we continuously seek the best, most practical, stylish, and cost-effective products for our customers, including our fabulous Short Riding Coats & Jackets collection.
