Horse Riding Underwear

Comfort is essential for an excellent riding experience and performance. Wearing everyday or regular underwear for riding can often be uncomfortable. We all have our own terminology for this but generally we are taking about your skin being pinched and rubbed causing irritation. This can lead to distractions and affect your riding performance and enjoyment while in the saddle. Also, regular underwear can be challenging to accommodate underneath tight riding clothes like breeches and jodhpurs.

Horse riding underwear is specially designed with the rider in mind, helping you stay comfortable while exercising your horse, enjoying a beautiful trail ride, or riding a demanding dressage test or show jumping course. Riding underwear offers a super comfortable and relaxed experience for equestrians from all levels and disciplines.

Horse riding underwear is highly breathable and usually has moisture-wicking properties to keep you comfortable and dry during exercise. Their seamless design keeps chafing and discomfort caused by seams at ease. Also, the extra support is crucial to provide additional stability, promote blood circulation, reduce fatigue, and even increase your confidence!

Padded Underwear for Horse Riding

All horse riding underwear features different levels of padding, strategically placed in key areas for both men and women to provide additional comfort and support and prevent soreness by cushioning the seat bones, groin area, and inner thighs. The padding and contention feel like a caress to your skin while preventing soreness by cushioning the seat bones, groin area, and inner thighs. The padding and extra contention also prevent chaffing and saddle sores, especially during long rides, intensive training, or showing sessions. Besides, even the most cushioned and padded riding underwear is designed to remain as unnoticeable as possible under your clothing’s upper layers.

Horse Riding Briefs, Boxers, and Knickers

Horse riding underwear comes in different styles to suit everyone’s tastes and needs but is always designed with comfort in mind for a more enjoyable and effective riding experience.

Ladies riding underwear like horse riding knickers and briefs and also men’s riding boxers offer excellent breathability, seamless designs, and different padding levels.

The more comfortable your riding gear is, the more secure you feel in the saddle and, as simple as horse riding underwear may sound, it involves ingenious design and advanced technical materials. Using the best padded underwear for horseback riding can help you find a more comfortable and secure riding position and reduce unnecessary movements. This is a radical improvement as you will stay more focused and relaxed, enabling you to feel your horse’s movements better or, like many instructors say, “listen” to your equestrian companion as if you were a dancing couple.
