Riding Tights: comfortable for young riders
Children's riding tights are soft, stretchy and feel just like their favourite leggings from the wardrobe. At the same time they have silicone grip at the knee or seat to give a secure hold in the saddle. We stock riding tights in children's sizes and for teens, styles with a phone pocket and lined thermal riding tights with a cosy teddy fleece lining for the colder months of the year.
Why children love riding tights
A wide, elasticated waistband does not dig into the tummy and does not slip when bending over. The flat seams lie smoothly against the skin so nothing rubs while riding. Children can move freely in them when mounting, grooming and doing groundwork. Because riding tights are so stretchy, they often fit for longer than firmer breeches and grow with your child for a while. Cheerful colours and details make getting ready for the lesson much easier.
Warm through the winter
When it gets cold outside, thermal riding tights with a brushed or fluffy lining keep legs warm. They stay stretchy and give just as much grip in the saddle as the summer styles. Together with warm socks, boots and a jacket, your child will get through the winter months in the indoor school and at the yard comfortably. The thermal version is also pleasant on hacks on crisp autumn days.
Frequently asked questions
Riding tights or breeches for children?
Most children find riding tights more comfortable because they are softer and have no firm waistband. Breeches are a little more hard wearing and often have belt loops. Both give a good hold in the saddle with silicone grip.
Can my child wear riding tights to school?
Yes, many riding tights look like ordinary sports leggings and are easy to wear every day. That way your child can head straight to the yard after school. The silicone grip is not uncomfortable when sitting on a chair.
Which size is right?
Go by your child's height and the size chart for the style. Riding tights should fit closely without cutting in. Creases at the knee are a sign that the tights are too big.
Riding tights for children and teens
For children, what matters most is that clothing is comfortable and does not get in the way. Riding tights do exactly that: they are soft, very stretchy and have a wide waistband that does not press. Silicone grip at the knee or seat gives young riders a secure hold in the saddle, even while their balance is still developing. Alongside styles for younger children there are riding tights for teens, some with a handy phone pocket on the leg. For the colder months, thermal riding tights with a teddy fleece lining keep legs warm. Because they are so stretchy, the tights often grow with your child for a while. Wash them without fabric softener and the grip will last. That way your child goes to every lesson happily and well dressed and still feels comfortable after riding.
