Equestrian Cross Country Tops

Whether you enjoy rigorous cross country course training, revel in competing at hunter trials, or love the thrill of the eventing phase in one-day and three-day events, you're likely to wear cross country colours.

Cross Country Riding Tops

Riders may choose different cross country riding tops in colours to match their sponsor's brand theme, or some riders may have an affinity for certain colours due to the good luck they've experienced while wearing them. Other riders choose their cross country colours because they love how the colour complements both their own style preferences and their horse's coat, and it's fun to have matching cross country tops and hat silks. 

For horse riding cross country tops, rider safety and comfort are also considerations when choosing cross country tops. Longer sleeves and highly technical materials allow freedom of movement while preventing the rider from overheating. Bright colours like yellow and orange can enhance visibility, while the classically coloured navy and burgundy cross country top is more subdued.

Most cross country ladies' tops have similar features. Fabrics are breathable, stretchy, often with Spandex to enhance fit. The technical fabrics are moisture-wicking and help regulate your body temperature. In warmer months, wear them alone, or use your cross country ladies' top equestrian colour statement as a base layer.  

Ensure that your cross country eventing top is comfortable with your choice of show jacket or protective vest. 

You can also consider some cross county top riding gear, like bibs, stopwatches, and armbands. For example, the LeMieux Eventing Bib is almost a cross country tank top, and it layers upon your long-sleeved top to hold your competition number. Adjustable shoulder and side straps secure the clear pockets, both front and back.
