Riding apparel—whether it’s pants, a jacket, or a pair of boots—plays an essential role in horseback riding. Whether at the stable, in the paddock, or at a competition, every rider—child or adult—needs the right gear to ride safely and comfortably. Beyond equipment for the horse, riding apparel is an integral part of an equestrian’s daily life, whether for flat riding, show jumping, or dressage. Discover an overview of the essential outfits to fully enjoy your passion for horses.
After your first few lessons, you decide to invest in the essential gear for a beginner rider. Even on a budget, you can purchase the necessary basics.
THE BEGINNER RIDER’S OUTFIT
A few items are essential for any rider getting started. Sports equipment brands are flourishing in physical stores and online shops. There are products for every budget, from entry-level technical apparel to custom-made luxury leather gear.
RIDING CLOTHING FOR A GOOD START
Riding pants are essential, comfortable, and seamless on the inside of the leg. Depending on their cut, material, and style, they are called riding breeches, jodhpurs, riding jeans, riding tights, or riding leggings. From the very start, choose pants with a full seat, leather patches, or non-slip silicone grips. Your regular clothes are sufficient for the top. But there’s nothing stopping you from investing in riding gear such as a riding airbag vest or a practical fleece for the horse, or comfortable riding socks for your feet.

Dedicated to riders seeking comfort and safety while riding, our Horse Pilot brand uses cutting-edge technology to design a complete range of technical clothing. Get more out of your gear by investing in quality.
