Women's competition shirts & polo shirts

Equestrian competitions uphold many timeless traditions and standards, including competition attire. On the one hand, it is important to present a well-groomed and healthy horse. On the other hand, wearing appropriate and regulation-compliant clothing is mandatory: white breeches, a white competition shirt, and a competition jacket. Competition outfits reflect the refined nature of equestrian sport. Over time, these outfits have evolved and now combine comfort and elegance. Fashion, style, and trends have a direct impact on the design of equestrian clothing.

A UNIQUE KIND OF COMPETITION SHIRT

In a sport like equestrianism, style and elegance should never be overlooked. That’s why we have designed women’s riding competition shirts with the goal of meeting all the needs of female riders. Each collection requires in-depth research to offer modern, stylish short-sleeve and long-sleeve competition shirts that follow current trends.

Beyond an elegant design, Horse Pilot offers a white, fitted competition shirt that can be worn across multiple disciplines: show jumping, eventing, dressage, and more.

Given the physical demands of the sport, an equestrian competition shirt must also provide comfort and freedom of movement. It should therefore be lightweight and breathable, allowing the rider to stay dry by efficiently wicking away perspiration for optimal performance. This is why Horse Pilot competition shirts feature micro-ventilated zones in strategic areas such as the back, arms, and sides.

SHIRTS DESIGNED FOR COMPETITION

Dress tradition has been deeply rooted in the equestrian world for many years. A stand-up collar with a buttoned placket is required, and riders must comply with this rule or risk being denied entry to competition. Wearing a competition jacket is often mandatory to enter the arena, although judges may sometimes show leniency depending on weather conditions. In such cases, riding in a competition shirt alone may be permitted.

Horse Pilot has therefore made it its mission to design lightweight, fashionable white competition shirts that comply with regulations while offering optimal freedom of movement.

COMFORT AS A PRIORITY IN COMPETITION SHIRTS

There are many constraints on competition grounds, and weather never stops true enthusiasts. That’s why riders must be properly equipped. Riding in rain, extreme heat, storms, or freezing conditions should not become an additional obstacle on the course. Horse Pilot ensures flawless performance in all weather conditions thanks to its technical apparel.

The technologies developed provide thermoregulation and breathability through laser-cut ventilation zones, allowing riders to perform in any conditions. Competition requires intense focus and precision—the last thing a rider should worry about during effort is their clothing.

This realization led to the creation of the Extra Comfort technology after years of research by our designers and developers. The goal is to create textiles that feel like a second skin once worn, thanks in particular to laser perforations in stretch materials. Apparel featuring this technology adapts perfectly to all body types and ensures an ideal position in the saddle.

FROM TECHNOLOGY TO PERFORMANCE

Horse riding involves movement from every part of the body. That’s why clothing must offer complete freedom of movement. Leg aids, hand actions, and posture are decided down to the millimeter. Technology directly impacts performance and progress: lightweight fabrics and Preform Fit technology eliminate tension and restriction, adapting to the rider’s position in all circumstances.

Sensitive® fabric allows for Oeko-Tex® certified textiles that are durable, antibacterial, and quick-drying. Horse Pilot draws inspiration from other high-performance sports such as cycling and skiing to create aerodynamic, high-performance equestrian apparel—an essential advantage in show jumping as well as racing.
