Horse Riding Tights for Every Season & Discipline

Riding Tights Explained

Horse riding tights are a popular choice for riders across all disciplines. They offer a close, flexible fit that moves with the rider, making them well suited to flatwork, jumping, trail riding and everyday schooling sessions. Unlike women's breeches, riding tights typically have a pull-on construction and a streamlined silhouette, which many riders find comfortable for longer sessions in the saddle.

Full Seat & Silicone Riding Tights

Full seat riding tights have a grip panel that runs across the seat and inner thigh, giving the rider extra contact and stability in the saddle. Silicone full seat tights offer a particularly firm grip and are popular with dressage riders and those who want consistent contact without relying on grip from their leg muscles alone. White competition riding tights with a full seat are a common choice for dressage and show ring use where a clean, traditional presentation is expected.

Winter & Thermal Riding Tights

Winter horse riding tights and thermal riding tights are designed to keep the rider warm in cooler conditions without adding bulk in the saddle. Fleece-lined options provide extra warmth for cold mornings, while softshell or windproof fabrics help manage riding in open paddocks or arenas during winter months. A good pair of winter riding tights allows riders to maintain comfort through the colder season without compromising their position or feel.

Summer & Lightweight Riding Tights

Summer riding tights prioritise breathability, moisture management and a lightweight feel. Mesh panels, moisture-wicking fabrics and cooling technology help riders stay comfortable in warm weather. Many summer riding tights also include UV protection, which is especially useful for riders spending extended time outdoors across Australian summer conditions.

Denim & Everyday Riding Tights

Denim horse riding tights blend the look of jeans with the flexibility of a performance fabric, making them a practical option for riders who want something that works from the yard to the school. They are popular for casual trail riding and everyday handling where a more traditional equestrian look is preferred without sacrificing comfort.

Riding Tights with Phone Pockets

Riding tights with a phone pocket have become a popular feature for riders who want a secure place to carry their phone during training or out on a trail ride. Phone pockets are typically positioned at the hip or thigh and designed to hold a phone securely without shifting during movement.
