Englander Equestrian Aiya Rock N Roll Riding Tights: The Bold, Grippy & Kid-Proof Choice
If you’re on the hunt for comfortable, durable, and genuinely fun riding tights for young riders, the Englander Equestrian Aiya Rock N Roll Child’s Riding Tights might just be the new yard favourite. In our latest product review video (which you can watch now), Aaron from Just Horse Riders walks through the design, feel, and standout features of these tights — with plenty of hands-on examples. As he put it himself, “the pattern is awesome… very rock and roll, very cool, very hip.”
Today, we’re diving deeper into what makes these tights special and why they’re becoming such a hit among junior riders at lessons, pony club, and everyday yard life.
The Rock N Roll Edition: Style That Stands Out
The first thing anyone notices about these tights is the bold silicone print across the back panels. This isn’t the kind of print that fades after two washes — it’s part of the silicone grip itself, making it both stylish and functional.
A Pattern With Personality
Designed for riders who love to express themselves, the multicolour Rock N Roll print gives young equestrians a unique look that still pairs beautifully with riding boots, gloves, and jodhpurs. You can shop matching gear in our Jodhpurs Collection, Boots Collection, or top off the outfit with cosy socks from our Riding Socks Collection.
Silicone That Works Hard
Aaron explains that the silicone pattern is “the same material as the full seat,” giving riders an extended grip area. This means extra confidence in the saddle — especially helpful for younger riders who are still developing balance and stability.
Premium Fabric for Everyday Riding
These tights are made from a flexible, durable nylon/spandex blend designed to keep up with energetic, always-on-the-move kids. As part of the Englander Equestrian range, which you can explore here, they’re built with both comfort and performance in mind.
Supportive Stretch With a Secure Fit
The fabric moves naturally with the rider, providing a comfortable yet supportive fit. The 5 cm covered waistband plays a big role in this — and as Aaron highlights in the review, it’s not just any waistband.
The Waistband That Stays Put
One of the most impressive features is the stitched-in elastic waistband. According to Aaron, “we’ve actually stitched it in so it doesn’t move about within the waistband.” Anyone who’s dealt with twisting elastic knows this is a game changer. It keeps everything in place, helps the tights last longer, and stops discomfort before it starts.
Smooth Seams for Sensitive Skin
Inside the tights, the seams are smoothed off to prevent irritation. Aaron emphasises this with a comment many parents will relate to: “Some kids are a bit sensitive… especially my kids.” The soft interior means these tights are great for everyday comfort, even during long rides or busy pony club sessions.
Full Seat Silicone Grip for Confident Riding
The full-seat Dyna silicone grip is one of the biggest selling points. It provides exceptional stability in the saddle, helping young riders feel secure whether they’re trotting, cantering, or working on transitions.
More Grip, Less Slip
The grip covers all the key contact points, making these tights ideal for lessons, hack outs, themed days, or even shows where a bit of confidence can make all the difference. If you're building a full riding outfit, be sure to shop now for gloves to enhance grip on the reins too.
Practical Details Young Riders Will Love
These tights aren’t just stylish — they’re incredibly functional. Every detail has been designed with active kids in mind.
Two Handy Phone Pockets
Whether you think kids should have phones or not (Aaron jokes, “don’t know what age kids get phones these days!”), the pockets are there and very practical. Perfect for holding a phone, treats, or even gloves when on the move around the yard.
Folded Bottom Hems
The smooth folded hems prevent rubbing inside riding boots, making them easier to wear for longer periods. Pair them with quality footwear from our Horse Riding Boot Collection for the best combination of support and comfort.
Sizing Made Simple
The Aiya Rock N Roll tights are available in waist sizes 20" to 28", suitable for roughly ages 3 to 12. There’s also a detailed size chart on the product page — and if you’re stuck, just reach out and we’ll help.
Designed for Growing Riders
The double side panels provide extra structure and long-lasting durability, ensuring the tights keep their shape and strength through wash after wash.
Perfect for Everyday Riding & Pony Club Life
These tights were created specifically for horse riding, offering the ideal blend of flexibility, grip, and fun style. They’re perfect for:
- Riding lessons
- Pony club sessions
- Themed events
- Competitions and shows
- General yard duties
You can pair them with stable rugs, turnout rugs, or even fly protection gear from our collections to build a full riding-ready wardrobe:
“These Stay Newer for Longer” – Durability That Matters
Because the branding and pattern are made of silicone rather than printed ink, Aaron points out that these tights “stay newer for longer.” That means less fading, less wear, and more value for parents investing in riding gear.
