Young Rider Riding Clothes

The right riding clothing for kids makes riding more fun, more comfortable and safer. Whether your child has just started riding school or already rides several times a week, it's important to have riding clothes that are designed for life in the stable and hours in the saddle.

At Unamari you'll find a wide range of riding clothes and equipment for kids from popular brands like Equipage and Catago. We have everything from Riding tights and breeches to riding helmets, body protectors, riding boots, riding gloves and riding jackets in children's sizes. The range is carefully selected for small riders, pony riders and young riders alike, so you can easily find the equipment that suits your child's needs.

What riding equipment for kids do you need?

When kids start riding, it's not always easy to know what's needed from the start. Fortunately, you don't have to buy everything at once.

The most important equipment for the little rider is typically:

• Riding pants or riding tights
• Riding helmet with proper fit
• Child-sized riding boots or jodhpurs
• Riding gloves
• Body protectors
• Practical riding jacket for chilly days

Many riding schools require approved riding helmets for children and recommend the use of child body protectors, especially for children and beginners. When your child rides regularly, specially designed riding clothes will quickly make a big difference to both comfort and freedom of movement.

Breeches or riding tights - what's best for your child?

For many parents, riding pants and riding tights are the first purchase. Both are designed for riding, but they have different benefits.

• Riding tights are often made of a lightweight and stretchy material with high elasticity for freedom of movement. They feel a bit like chaps and are popular with children because they are easy to put on and comfortable to wear all day long.
• Classic breeches are typically more robust and often have extra abrasion resistance in exposed areas. Many models are available with silicone grippers, which provide a better grip in the saddle and increase stability while riding.

Whether you choose breeches or riding tights, a good fit is important. Flat seams, elastic waistbands and materials that follow the body's movements make the experience much more comfortable for your child.

Kids' riding clothes for all seasons

Kids ride all year round, so it's important to choose riding clothes that suit the weather.

In summer, many kids prefer lightweight riding tights, breathable riding blouses and thin children's riding gloves, which help regulate temperature during activity.

In the cold months, the layer-on-layer principle is ideal. Thermal clothing, warm riding jackets, softshell jackets, warm riding socks for kids and winter riding gloves can help keep your child warm both on the horse and in the stable.

The right outerwear makes it easier to focus on the riding rather than the weather and makes your child want to continue the activity all year round.

How to find the right kids size

When choosing riding clothes for kids, fit is key. The clothing should fit snugly enough not to interfere with riding, but still allow for free movement.

Pay special attention to:

• Size and leg length of breeches
• Space for movement around shoulders and arms
• Stretchy materials with good flexibility
• Adjustability by zipper, elastic or Velcro

Children grow fast, but riding clothes should not be bought too big. The right size provides better comfort, better contact with the horse and a safer experience in the saddle.

Smart riding clothes kids want to wear

For many kids, looks are almost as important as functionality. When riding clothes feel comfortable and look good at the same time, they're often more likely to be worn with pleasure.

In our range you'll find smart riding clothes for kids in both classic and modern designs. Choose from regular kids' riding clothes or take a look at our fancy competition wear for kids if your child is already ready for competition on the riding arena.
