About Horse Riding Leggings

We understand the importance of comfort during rides, whether they are intended for training, competitions, or leisurely rides in the countryside. This is why we offer a premium selection of riding leggings designed to bring you lasting confidence on rides of every type, demand, and duration.

Our top-tier riding leggings, much like our breeches and jodhpurs, are specially engineered to meet the demands of a variety of equestrian activities. Unlike standard fashion leggings, they are equipped with a number of key features that can enhance your performance in the saddle while keeping you cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and dry throughout your riding activities.

Each range in our equestrian leggings collection features leggings with unique features to complement equestrian pursuits. These include high waistbands to prevent gaping while mounted, gripping knee patches for enhanced grip and secure leg positions, moisture-wicking properties to draw moisture away from the skin, and enhanced flexibility to ensure that your movements are unrestricted while riding. Our leggings also offer flattened seams to minimise the risk of irritation and chafing during longer rides, and some even offer mobile phone pockets for added convenience.

We offer a wide variety of riding leggings to cater to the needs and preferences of women, men, and young riders alike. Each of our riding tights ranges is crafted from high-performance, lightweight, breathable fabrics that provide snug and compressive fits and superior knee and leg protection. Some of our apparel ranges cater to professional riders, and others to those embarking on schooling and training sessions, everyday rides, and leisure rides.

Our horse riding leggings are carefully selected to appeal to the fashion-forward equestrian enthusiast. Our collection promises to keep you stylish and sophisticated with a wide range of quality stretchy fabrics, on-trend colours, and unique patterns and prints to choose from. Opt for a classic neutral colour palette for competition attire or a striking pop of colour to instantly upgrade your riding wardrobe and accentuate your horse riding tops – it’s up to you.

At Ayr Equestrian, we are dedicated to providing you with exceptional-quality riding gear to enhance every experience in the saddle. Discover our range of leggings, meticulously crafted from robust and durable materials to offer the perfect combination of comfort, style, and performance-enhancing support.

Horse Riding Leggings FAQS

What makes horse riding leggings different from regular leggings?

Horse riding leggings are specially designed to support horse riding activities. They tend to feature higher waists to support your core, strategically positioned knee grip patches to secure your leg position, and moisture-wicking materials to keep you cool, dry, and sweat-free during long rides. Most riding leggings also offer a generous stretch, allowing for unrestricted movement in the saddle, and flattened seams to reduce the risk of chafing and discomfort.

Can I wear horse riding leggings in winter?

Yes. Many equestrian attire brands offer leggings specifically designed for winter riding. These leggings tend to have enhanced thermal properties and effectively trap heat between them and your skin to keep you warm, even during harsh weather conditions and cold temperatures. For summer riding, you can opt for regular horse riding tights designed to keep you pleasantly cool in warmer ambient conditions.

What colour riding tights should I choose?

The colour riding tights you select should largely be based on your personal preference and individual style. Many experts recommend opting for bright colours during rides in low-light conditions. Vibrant colours may also help to add visual interest and excitement to your riding wardrobe. However, darker colours like brown or navy are generally a practical choice for equestrian leggings, as they do not become visibly soiled as easily as lighter or brighter hues.

What is the difference between horse riding tights and breeches?

Horse riding breeches are more formal riding pants, offering a defined leg shape with a subtly flared leg to accommodate longer riding boots. They usually feature belt loops and button or zipper closures, while leggings are elasticised at the waist. Leggings are also considered to be more casual, while breeches are better suited to formal rides and competition wardrobes.

What is the difference between horse riding leggings and jodhpurs?

Jodhpurs are full-length riding pants that typically end in a rolled leg cuff that rests just above the ankle. They may also feature a small under-foot strap that prevents them from riding up while you are in the saddle. They come in both pull-on and zip-up design.
