Horse riding clothes for winter
If you wear appropriate riding clothes for winter, you’ll enjoy your time in the saddle, regardless of the weather. WB Equiline’s range reflects that.
When winter arrives, we all want to stay warm and comfortable in the saddle. Cold temperatures, wind and rain can make riding more challenging, but with the right clothing, you can enjoy your time with your horse, and even look stylish, throughout the colder months.
The key to wearing the right riding clothes for winter riding is layering. Rather than relying on one thick garment, wearing several lighter layers allows you to adjust your clothing as temperatures change or you warm up during exercise. Start with a comfortable, breathable base layer that helps manage moisture, add an insulating mid-layer for warmth, and then finish with a suitable outer jacket to protect you from the wind and rain.
Choosing the right riding breeches is important, too. Winter-weight options can provide extra warmth, while fabrics with a comfortable stretch allow you to move freely in the saddle. Full-length riding tights or breeches with suitable grip will also help you maintain a secure, comfortable position during your ride.
When thinking about riding clothes for winter, you won’t want to forget your extremities! Warm riding gloves help keep your hands comfortable while maintaining the grip and control you need on the reins. Thermal socks and suitable riding boots help protect your feet from the cold, particularly when you’re spending time outdoors before and after riding. And of course a well-fitting riding hat is essential, whatever the weather; naturally, any additional winter accessories should be compatible with it.
Of course, practical riding clothes for winter don’t have to mean sacrificing style. From elegant jackets and smart gilets to attractive breeches and coordinated accessories, you can stay warm while maintaining a polished equestrian look. Choosing complementary colours and well-fitting layers can help you look just as good around the stable or as you do in the saddle.
At WB Equiline, we offer riding clothes from great equestrian brands for every season, including winter. Whether you’re looking for decent everyday essentials or stylish attire to refresh your riding wardrobe, we have something to suit different tastes and needs. With a little preparation and the right riding clothes, you can make the most of winter riding, whatever the weather brings.
