Rider T-shirts / Polos
The T-shirts / Polos page brings together polos and competition shirts, long-sleeved riding tops and everyday t-shirts, from Harry's Horse, Ariat, Horse Pilot, QHP, LeMieux, Cavallo, Montar or Equithème.
From working at home to competition courses, each top has its purpose.
Competition Polos and Shirts
In competition, the rider's outfit is worn under the competition jacket: a polo or a shirt in a light colour, most often white, with a high collar or buttoned collar. Competition polos, like the Harry's Horse Brighton or Champ, use breathable technical fabric and have a collar that stays neat under the jacket. Competition shirts, such as the Horse Pilot Aerolight or the Harry's Horse Venice, add elegance with a lightweight fabric that dries quickly. The regulations for each discipline specify the required outfit: checking them before a first competition prevents any unpleasant surprises.
In hot weather, some events allow riding without a jacket: the competition polo then becomes the visible piece, and its fitted cut is of great importance.
Long Sleeve Tops and Sun Protection
Long sleeve riding tops, like the LeMieux Classique, Cavallo Bria or Harry's Horse Sporty, are worn for daily work. Their fine, stretchy fabric protects the arms from the sun and chafing, dries quickly, and moves with you in the saddle. Merino wool t-shirts, like the one from Horse Pilot, regulate the temperature from a cool morning to a hot afternoon and limit odours during a long day at the stables.
Fit, Size, and Care
A riding top should fit close to the body to avoid billowing and to stay clean in the trousers when leaning or balancing. Sizes correspond to bust measurement, and women's cuts accentuate the waist. White competition polos can be washed at 30 or 40 degrees depending on the label, without fabric softener which dulls the technical fabrics, and should be hung up to maintain a crisp collar.

- Jumpers and Sweaters, for cool mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What outfit should I wear under a competition jacket?
A polo or a shirt in a light colour, most often white, with a high or buttoned collar. The regulations of each discipline specify the required outfit: checking it before a first competition prevents unpleasant surprises.
What top maintains a neat collar under the competition jacket?
Competition polos, like the Harry's Horse Brighton or Champ, have breathable technical fabric and a collar that stays neat under the jacket. Shirts, like the Horse Pilot Aerolight, gain elegance with a lightweight fabric that dries quickly.
Why protect my arms when riding in hot weather?
A fine, stretchy fabric protects the arms from the sun and chafing, dries quickly, and follows your movements in the saddle. The LeMieux Classique, Cavallo Bria or Harry's Horse Sporty tops are designed for this daily work.
Is a merino wool t-shirt suitable for the stables?
Yes, merino wool, like on the Horse Pilot t-shirt, regulates temperature from a cool morning to a hot afternoon and limits odours during a long day at the stables.
How do I wash a white competition polo?
At 30 or 40 degrees depending on the label, without fabric softener which dulls technical fabrics, and hung up to keep a crisp collar. When chosen to fit close to the body, it also stays in the trousers when bending in the saddle.
