Riding Chaps
While riding, a correct, stable leg position is vital for effective communication with your horse. Therefore, it is essential that you wear appropriate riding attire to enable you to perform at your best, whether during riding lessons, during competition, while schooling, or while out hacking. Chaps and gaiters traditionally accompany short riding boots, such as jodhpur boots, to provide a level of security without constricting the rider’s lower legs. The use of chaps and gaiters also prevent the tops of your short boots from catching on the saddle, though they save your ankles from being irritated by the friction caused by movement of short boots as you ride too. Chaps also protect the inside of your leg against the saddle and being pinched by the stirrup leathers which usually causes bruises down your leg.

So, we’ve made it our mission to stock only the best products in the equestrian marketplace – ensuring that we have also tried and tested those products ourselves – so you can enjoy your investment with confidence!
