Rider's trousers and leggings
The Rider Trousers page brings together riding trousers, leggings, riding jeans, thermal models, and rain skirts, from Horze, ELT, Harry's Horse, Ariat, Equiline, Premier Equine, Tommy Hilfiger Equestrian, Cavallo, eaSt or B Vertigo.
Grip, comfort, and freedom of movement in the saddle.
Full grip or mid grip
The riding trousers are distinguished by their grip, a silicone adhesion applied to the inside of the legs. The full grip, as seen on the ELT Fenja, Horze Evelyn or Premier Equine Sassari, covers the entire inside of the leg, and sometimes the seat, for a very stable position, appreciated in dressage. The mid grip or knee grip, like the Equiline Eqash, is limited to the knees and allows for more freedom for the leg, which many show jumpers prefer.
Trousers, legging or jeans
The legging for riding, like the Ariat Eos, the Horze Ginny or the eaSt Reggings, is close-fitting, stretchy and comfortable for everyday work. The classic trousers, more structured with belt loops and pockets, are worn in competitions, in white or beige. The riding jeans, such as the Ariat R.E.A.L., look like jeans but have no thick inner seams to avoid chafing in the saddle. All have a narrow leg cuff that slides smoothly into the boot.
Winter riding
The thermal trousers, like the B Vertigo Dana or the Horze Greta legging, have a fleece lining that keeps warmth during winter sessions. The riding skirt, like the ELT Lotta, is worn over the trousers and covers the legs and the saddle against rain and cold. A grip trouser should be washed inside out, at 30 degrees, without fabric softener which reduces the silicone's grip, and air-dried.
The rest of the outfit
The outfit is completed with t-shirts and polos, jumpers and sweatshirts, jackets and coats, competition wear, helmets, underwear, all gathered on the rider page.

Frequently asked questions
Which grip to choose according to your equestrian discipline?
The full grip, silicone on the entire inside of the leg, provides a very stable position, appreciated in dressage. The mid grip, limited to the knees, allows more freedom in the saddle: it’s the common choice in show jumping and cross-country.
What colour trousers to wear for competitions?
In competitions, white or light beige trousers are the rule in most disciplines, paired with a competition jacket and shirt. During training, all colours are allowed, and darker shades show less dirt.
How to choose the size of riding trousers?
They should fit snugly without creasing under the leg, as crumpled fabric pinches the skin against the stirrup. Check the fit while seated, with the leg bent as it would be in the saddle: the trousers should neither gape at the back nor pinch at the knees.
How to wash silicone grip trousers?
Inside out, at thirty degrees and without fabric softener, which damages the silicone and elasticity of the fabric. Avoid the tumble dryer and ironing on the grip, as heat can detach it. Air drying preserves the grip much longer.
What to wear for horseback riding in cold weather?
A thermal trouser, lined with fleece, keeps the legs warm without hindering contact with the horse. In the rain, a riding skirt covers the trousers and the saddle. Technical underwear completes the outfit.
