Have you ever wondered how professional riders keep their cool at the top? Having elite grooms and an excellent support team is, of course, essential at the international competition levels, but there is a lot that you can learn from how the top professionals keep in winning form. This blog looks at five professional riders' competition tips you need this summer!
Be Prepared For A Different Horse at A Show
Most horses ride differently from how they are at home. You need to be prepared to adapt your riding to suit the horse underneath you. Olympic dressage rider and trainer Carl Hester regularly recommends that you have a warm-up programme you can work with to help settle your horse and your nerves. Make every day enjoyable in the saddle with our range of equestrian base layers and riding tights.
Lay The Foundations For The Level You Want To Ride
You must ensure your horse is confident at home with questions before putting them in a competitive environment. The 2023 Badminton Horse Trials winner, Ros Canter, recommends that your horse understands the job you are asking them to do and you have laid the foundations so your horse is trusting and confident in your partnership.
Professional Riders Plan & Prepare
If you want to excel in showjumping, take a leaf out of Olympic Gold Medallist Ben Maher's book and study the course plan before setting foot in the arena to course walk. Getting to the competition venue early and waiting ringside so that you can walk the course as soon as available will also allow you to maximise your course walk time for success. Walk and ride the course comfortably and confidently in our Competition Riding Leggings in showjumping stone.
Keep Nerves At Bay
Many professional riders have struggled with nerves at some point in their illustrious careers, but being prepared to help elevate some of those pre-competition butterflies can help you overcome them. For example, learning your dressage test in advance will give you something less to worry about. Also, allowing extra journey time will ensure that if you get stuck in some traffic on the way to your competition, you still have additional time to get ready, warm up and compete. Choose our fast-wicking, four-way stretch competition clothing range for clothing that won't let you down for extra confidence!
Show Up & Show Off!
If you love to show your horse, wearing the correct attire will be vital to catching the judge's eye! Wearing a smart shirt, tweed jacket and competition riding tights will ensure you look the part, but it's also about having the right attitude when you step in the ring. Top show riders and producers like Katie Jerram always say that judges look for the combination that enters the ring with that 'look at me' aura. Practice at home so your show performance is foot perfect, and step into the show ring with that wow factor!
Get Inspired With Rider Competition Wear - What You Need To Know.
]]>Comfort First
Whatever level of competition you compete within, choosing comfort in your rider competition wear will make the difference between focusing on enjoying the day with your horse or that tight waistband that feels like cutting you in half!
Wearing tight-fitting and uncomfortable clothing for extended periods will make your day out miserable. Choose clothing that is the correct size and reference the brand's size guide to help you choose a comfortable horse riding outfit that you will love and make you feel great! Once you've chosen your competition jacket, you will be looking for competition shirts and legwear.
Competition Riding Leggings
Our range of competition shirts is perfect for dressage riders and show jumpers. Our Competition Equestrian Base Layer Show Shirt is a popular choice, styled in a fast-dry, moisture-wicking fabric that will keep you comfortable in the saddle, whether you are at a British Dressage competition or British Riding Club event - we love it so much, we even wear it for everyday wear in our training sessions!
You'll love our new Hybrid Riding Leggings if you love white breeches. These fantastic riding tights are a cross between your favourite pair of riding tights and classic breeches but with all the comfort and style! Our riding tights are designed to complement your body shape, and because they come in a range of colours, including competition white and beige, you can look the part, whatever your chosen discipline. An alternative to canary yellow breeches for showing is our Winter Thermal Hunter Beige Riding Leggings which look great in the show ring teamed with tweed competition jackets.
Our machine washable Competition Full Seat Riding Leggings / Tights in white are also loved by competitive riders. Like all our riding tights, they feature extra deep phone pockets on both legs, a generous wide waistband and are fast-drying and hard-wearing.
British Riding Clubs now allow you to compete in dark-coloured breeches so you can look stunning and feel confident in our Navy Horse Riding Tights / Leggings with pockets or Black Riding Leggings / Tights with Phone Pockets.
Competition Prep
Whether you are planning to go cross-country or show off in the showing, planning your competition wardrobe will ensure that you are prepared for hot weather, wet weather and any weather! Pack according to the weather forecast but remember to bring a change of clothes in the lorry to keep you comfortable, warm and dry.
If you last competed some time ago, do a dress rehearsal to check everything still fits comfortably and is clean and ready for your big day out. If you are planning on wearing an air jacket, check it fits comfortably over any new competition jackets.
Competition Day – what do I have to consider?
Whether you're competing unaffiliated or affiliated, make sure you check the association or organiser's rules. Rules relating to rider wear, including hat standards and body protectors, can change, so double check you have the correct clothing before entering. You don't want to be eliminated or refused entry on competition day!

Choosing a warm winter riding coat or winter riding jacket can be difficult with so many coats on the market. In this blog, we share five things you should look for when considering a horse riding coat for winter.
Long Or Short Winter Riding Coat?
Looking for a quality winter jacket that is ready for the cold weather will be a priority for most equestrians. Long winter riding coats are great for full coverage in the saddle, whilst short riding jackets offer versatility when paired with your technical base layers and riding leggings. Some riders prefer to wear a short coat to wear an extra layer or two underneath. Other riders prefer to ride in a long coat because they can wear fewer layers on their bottom half.
What To Consider In A Winter Jacket
When looking for outer layers, you must decide what your priority is: warmth, waterproof, showerproof or water resistant. This is important to consider if you are looking for outer layers to ride in during all weather conditions. Our puffer jacket designs are water resistant, and our EQC Team Jacket is styled in a soft shell fabric with showerproof properties and a warm fleece lining.
What Makes A Winter Jacket Suitable For Riding?
As a stylish equestrian, you want to look for those details which make the coat comfortable and fit for riding. Look for details that make the coat suitable for riding in. Longer-style riding coats should allow you to move in the saddle. Our Long Puffer Coat has side zips that you can unzip to allow freedom of movement when sat in the saddle. Inner chest pocket for stashing your treats and a removable and adjustable hood to give you the flexibility of fit. Our Exclusive Short Puffer Jacket is the perfect women's winter riding jacket. This jacket is insulated with eco-friendly fill and features a flattering chevron quilt, two-way zip, Eqcouture metal wear and deep, cosy double pockets with popper closures.
Colourful Or Classic Winter Riding Coat?
If you're looking for a multipurpose riding jacket, consider looking at winter riding jackets that come in a stylish colourway. Choosing a coat or riding jacket in a fashionable colour will enable you to wear it from the yard to the city with confidence. Our Exclusive Long Puffer Coat in Olive Green is a perfect example of how you look on trend even during bad weather! However, if you prefer classic Navy or timeless black, we also have an outer jacket for you!
Warm Winter Riding Coat Details
Our range of winter riding clothes is designed to keep you toasty, and our warm winter riding coats are no exception! It's not just a cosy warm winter riding jacket you want to look for. Our coats feature a secure internal pocket with pocket zips, making them ideal for valuables. Our coats also feature elasticated cuffs to keep you warm on the move. Our Puffer coat is a gorgeous quilted coat design that will keep your body warm this winter. As riders, we know what it is like to be an equestrian during the winter, so we always look to give you maximum warmth without compromising style!

What is equestrian fashion? Is it fashion inspired by equestrians or equestrian style you can enjoy in the saddle and beyond the yard? At Eqcouture, we believe it's the latter; riding clothes you can wear for the equestrian life you love. In this blog, we discuss equestrian fashion and what makes equestrian clothing stylish enough to be worn away from the stables.
Our collection of riding leggings looks so stylish you can wear them away from the yard with confidence. Our riding leggings are designed for riders like our Designer Sophie, who fits riding and yard duties between her busy work and family life. Sophie's design philosophy is to create riding clothes you'll enjoy wearing, even if you're not heading to the stables immediately! Our customers love our riding leggings because they are comfortable and designed to complement your curves. As far as we are concerned, our riding leggings will always be in fashion and Instagram worthy!
Base layers are a popular choice for stylish equestrians these days. Our matching base layers and riding leggings are your perfect go-to garments for riding all year round. Traditionally winter equestrian base layers were basic and designed to be worn underneath your riding clothing. These days, modern equestrian base layers look so good they deserve to be seen! Our Thermal Base Layers are stylish and the best in equestrian fashion. They are keeping you cosy and cute, whatever winter brings!
We know that riders enjoy wearing their equestrian style for city living. Our outerwear is a firm favourite with riders who want comfort and performance in the saddle but equally wear it for a trip into the city or weekend away from the horses. Our equestrian outerwear will keep you warm in the cold winter months. Our outerwear will keep you toasty whether you're riding, working on the yard, teaching, walking the dogs or heading into the city.
On every Eqcouture garment, you'll notice our equestrian details. Our stylish logo is engraved on our jacket poppers, embroidered on our base layers or our riding legging's silicone seat pattern. Our riding leggings feature elasticated cuffs for comfort and easy dressing. Our horse wear collection is the perfect fit for riders who love 'matchy matchy'. Eqcouture saddlecloths don't just look good; their extra generous spine panel width and 'cool mesh' airflow lining ensure your horse feels and looks fantastic too.
We know that small details matter to horse riders, which is why you'll find them all in the Eqcouture collection!

We've had record temperatures in the UK recently, so we thought we'd share some pro tips for keeping cool in the saddle, so you're prepared!
Ice Idea To Keep Cool In The Saddle
Stash a bottle of water in the freezer and take it to the yard with you - by the time you've groomed and tacked up your horse, you can enjoy a nice cold drink before, during and after your ride! Another excellent tip for keeping cool post riding is once you've iced your horses' legs with their ice boots - if they're still cold, try holding them on the pulse point on your wrist, neck, chest, or temples to help cool you down. These areas release the most heat from your body. It is also where the veins sit closest to the skin's surface, so it will give you an instant refresh.
Pressing the ice boots cool against the back of your neck where the brainstem runs through your neck will give you a cooling sensation across your entire body because the brain senses and regulates body temperature; an easy, quick cooling tip!
Wear Breathable Riding Clothing
Choose breathable riding clothing to keep you cool. Our cotton blend EQC TEAM Polo Shirt Short Sleeve is the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe and looks just as good teamed with jeans as it does with our riding tights, AND it's currently in our sale!
Our short sleeve base layers are always a great shout for summer riding thanks to their technical fast-drying and moisture-wicking properties. Our Short Sleeve Equestrian Technical Base Layer in Spring Blue is the perfect summer shade and bargain price in our sale!
Don't forget your hands can become sweaty riding in the summer, but our Ventigrip Horse Riding Gloves are perfect for air-con on the move with their mesh panel detailing.
Choose your riding tights with care - looking for thin fabrics won't give you the support you need, and they won't stand the test of time or regular wear. Riders love wearing our riding leggings all year round, even during the hottest weather, because they are designed for comfort in the saddle. Our riding tights feature carefully placed seams and a supportive wide comfort waistband. Our riding leggings offer total freedom of movement in and out of the saddle with their technical stretch fabric.
For those warm but rainy days, our Hack A Mac is a super lightweight waterproof jacket with a cool mesh lining that comes in its own zip waist bag for summer hacking that is showerproof! And now in our summer sale!
Stay Hydrated & Be A Smart Rider
The more water you drink, the easier your body finds it to self-regulate your body temperature, so during hot weather, make sure you stay hydrated. Keeping hydrated also helps enhance your concentration and focus. Avoid fizzy sugary drinks, excessive tea and coffee (all of which can dehydrate you further) and reach for the H20!
Early Riser
During the hot weather, riding in the early hours of the day will mean you both stay calm, and it's a great way to start the day and get ahead of your chores before you start work. Between 4 am and 7 am is the coolest art of the day, so be an early riser and stay cool!

Riding Tights Or Jodphurs? We Share Our Tips & Advice

In our latest blog, we chat competition whites and share a few tips on how to care, wear, and wow in them! And even how to remove your horse's green slobber from them.
Have you ever wondered whose brilliant idea it was to wear white breeches or jodphurs for the competition arena? Word has it that this practice dates back to the aristocracy, who wore white riding legwear as a status symbol. These days, competition whites still dominate the competition arena (apart from beige leggings for the showing arena and stone leggings for show-jumping). With advances in fabric technology, they now wash and wear beautifully.
Scared of white riding tights that reveal all? Yes, us too, so we created our non see through competition full seat riding leggings. Our competition white tights are styled in a quality 330gsm fabric to ensure that you won't be exposing your derriere every time you bend over to adjust your horses' boots. These amazing riding leggings are body forming and are styled in a higher gsm fabric (not warmer, just thicker) than our other original styles, so not revealing, just radically different from other white riding tights on the market!!
Our competition riding leggings are not styled in thin material. Our riding tights are made from a dense, high quality, fast-drying fabric with support and stretch with a stretchy lycra cuff to help ease your feet in and out! Our competition base layer is also designed to keep your looking and feeling fabulous. Featuring our fantastic stretch technology, our base layer is fast drying and wicks away body moisture, keeping you cool and stylish! We also offer our show shirt in white and stone for savvy showjumpers who want 'matchy matchy' with style!
No! Even with the easiest to care for competition whites, you need to follow the washing instructions. We recommend washing them at a low temperature, without fabric conditioner. Wash with other white and light coloured garments, and do not tumble dry! After all, these white competition leggings dry so quickly that there is no need to tumble dry! Our White Leggings are well known for washing up new – if you do it right!
Washing your white competition clothing with colours can lead to colour seeping into your whites, so don't mix bright or dark colours with white. Using the incorrect amount of detergent or a build-up of limescale and soap can give your whites a grey overtone. It's also worth running a short cycle with your machine empty and use a washing machine cleaning agent from time to time to continue to keep your whites blingy and bright!

Our take on it...
Are you still debating about buying riding tights or jodhpurs? At Eqcouture, our riding leggings have hundreds of glowing riding tights reviews from riders just like you. Our riding leggings keep you looking stylish and feeling fantastic in and out of the saddle. Wherever your ride may take you, here are six reasons riding tights rock!
Riding tights are designed to feel more like gym leggings, but with all the design and comfort of a superior riding garment created specifically for riding. Jodhpurs tend to be styled in a traditionally heavier fabric with a folded cuff at the ankle and a basic design approach. Our riding leggings are comfortable and stylish, while jodhpurs offer basic comfort and very little passion for equestrian fashion!
Jodhpurs are old school. We all wore jodhpurs as children, but thankfully riding leggings are now the contemporary, grown-up version we love. Stylish kids love our Eqcouture Mini Riding Leggings too! Back in the day, jodhpurs were the riding tights of their generation, but it's time we left this outdated equestrian clothing style behind! Our Founder & Designer Sophie loved her jodhpurs before starting up Eqcouture and it was her personal love of comfort combined with a quest for something more stylish that lead her on her Eqcouture design journey!
Slipping into a pair of our riding tights is like wearing a comfortable pair of gym leggings that give you freedom of movement coupled with great equestrian design and comfort. At Eqcouture, we replicate the same sporty comfort and performance you experience in your designer gym wear and reinvent it with winning equestrian accents.
More details, more to love! Our riding leggings are more than just your average riding leggings. Whether you're looking at riding tights or jodhpurs, our riding leggings feature lots of stylish details you'll love and won't find in a pair of jodhpurs. Our riding tights feature not one, but two deep phone pockets, our signature full seat silicone grip seat, carefully placed comfort seams, a generous three-inch waistband and a lycra cuff to the hem.
Jodhpurs don't tend to use technical fabrics. Our riding tights are made from body forming technical material that offers you support, stretch and comfort. The fabrics we use are from a dense, quality weave that is also fast drying so that you can enjoy more wear and more saddle time in our stylish riding leggings!
Did you know we first launched Eqcouture with one box of our riding leggings?! Even though we have now sold in excess of 15,000 pairs of our riding leggings, we still believe quality is king. We only work with a small number of select factories which match our ethos and ethics and deliver the highest standard on both. Every pair of Eqcouture riding tights is quality hand checked before being sent out to our worldwide customers.
So, if you were to ask us, would we choose riding tights or jodhpurs? We would have to say riding tights all the way!
