Discover the Englander Equestrian Aiya Unicorn Riding Tights for Kids
If you’ve ever struggled to find children’s riding tights that balance comfort, style, and practicality, you’re not alone. As Aaron from Just Horse Riders puts it, “there’s 1,000,001 riding tights out there for kids.”:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1} But in our latest product review (watch now!), we take a closer look at a pair that genuinely stands apart: the Englander Equestrian Aiya Unicorn Child’s Riding Tights.
What Makes These Riding Tights Different?
Children’s equestrian clothing shouldn’t just look fun—it should perform. These tights combine a stretchy nylon/spandex fabric with a full-seat silicone grip, ensuring kids stay secure and comfortable in the saddle.
The Magic of the Silicone Unicorn Print
The Unicorn edition includes a vibrant, multicolour silicone unicorn design across the back panels, giving young riders a bit of personality while providing extra grip. As Aaron explains, “the actual print is silicone… the same grip as you do on the inside of the leg and on the seat.”:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2} This means the fun isn’t just visual—it’s fully functional.
Durability That Keeps Up With Everyday Riding
Kids ride, play, wash, and repeat. Thankfully, the tights’ silicone detailing and richly dyed fabric help them stay looking newer for longer. As mentioned in the video, these have “been put through the wash a few times already… and they still look brand new.”:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3} Perfect for pony club, riding lessons, and muddy adventures.
Designed With Young Riders in Mind
A Waistband That Actually Stays Put
Many children’s riding tights suffer from twisty waistbands that bunch and fold. Aaron highlights this issue: “a lot of the time, this band moves about… but with these ones, they’ve got a stitch which keeps them at the top.”:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4} A small detail, but a big improvement for rider comfort.
Smooth Inner Stitching for Sensitive Skin
Some young riders have sensory sensitivities, and bulky seams can cause discomfort. Fortunately, the Aiya Unicorn tights feature smooth internal stitching that avoids itching or irritation—something parents will appreciate.
Phone Pockets for the Tech-Savvy Rider
Kids and phones—these days, they’re inseparable. With two elasticated phone pockets, children can store their devices or treasures while riding. As Aaron jokes, “God knows what else they put in there.”:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
A Fit That Works for Growing Riders
These tights come in waist sizes 20” to 28”, typically fitting riders aged 3–12. Their ergonomic structure, including double side panels, ensures a more secure and supportive fit.

Construction Built for Performance
These tights are crafted from a durable dyed knitted nylon/spandex blend, providing flexibility for movement both in and out of the saddle. The 5 cm covered waistband offers gentle support without digging in, and the folded hems ensure comfort under boots.
Full-Seat Silicone Grip for Stability
The Dyna-style back seat ensures full-seat grip—ideal for young riders learning balance and technique. Whether trotting around the arena or enjoying a relaxed hack, riders gain a little extra sticking power exactly where they need it.
The Navy Colourway Kids Love
The Aiya Unicorn tights come exclusively in a rich navy, giving the bright unicorn print even more visual pop. It’s a stylish and practical colour that hides dirt well—because we all know how “creative” kids can be around mud.
Why Parents Choose the Aiya Unicorn Riding Tights
Parents appreciate products that last, perform well, and spark joy—and these tights tick every box. They’re fun, functional, and built to last. Perfect for lessons, pony days, schooling sessions, or simply living their best equestrian life.
