The Essential Guide to the Englander Equestrian Aiya Child’s Riding Tights
If you’re a parent of a young rider, you already know the struggle: finding riding tights that are comfortable, durable, and actually stay in place during lessons, hacks and all the muddy adventures in between. In our latest product review, Aaron from Just Horse Riders gives an honest, hands-on look at the Englander Equestrian Aiya Child’s Horse Riding Tights — and he doesn’t hold back. If you're short on time, feel free to watch now and catch the full review on YouTube: Aiya Riding Tights Review.
Meet the Aiya Riding Tights
The Aiya Riding Tights are designed for children who need the perfect mix of comfort, stretch, and secure grip in the saddle. Built from a durable nylon/spandex blend, these tights balance all-day wearability with high-performance riding features. If you’re familiar with the Englander Equestrian brand, you’ll already know they take practicality seriously — and the Aiya tights are no exception.
“Very, Very Grippy”: The Full Silicone Seat
One of the first things Aaron highlights in his review is how grippy the full-seat silicone is. In his words: “These have a full silicone seat on…it is very, very grippy.” What makes this grip different? The unique *octagon-style* silicone pattern that helps kids stay secure, especially during bouncy trots and energetic ponies. If stability is a priority, this feature alone is enough reason to buy now.
Why the Waistband Matters More Than You Think
Aaron had a lot to say about the waistband — and for good reason. Many riding tights suffer from that annoying twisting elastic inside the waistband. But not these.
As he explains: “What they've done with these…they’ve actually put a bit of stitching in there to make sure that it doesn't move about.” This extra stitching keeps the elastic in place so the waistband stays level, comfortable, and supportive even during long riding sessions.
Smooth Internal Stitching for Extra Comfort
No parent wants to hear that their child’s riding gear is itchy or irritating. Thankfully, the Aiya tights have “nicely finished off” seams on the inside that, according to Aaron, feel “really, really smooth.” This attention to detail makes them ideal for young riders who need comfort while learning new skills.
Double Side Pockets: A Small Feature That Means a Lot
Kids love pockets — and riders *need* them. The Aiya tights come with two pockets, one on each side, making it easy to hold phones, treats, keys or showground essentials. To top it off, they feature silicone Englander branding that “will stay on there for longer” and keep the tights looking fresh and new.
Premium Fabric for Everyday Riders
These tights are made from a high-quality dyed knitted nylon/spandex blend that gives them a supportive, stretchy, and breathable feel. Whether your young rider is mounting, grooming, mucking out or cantering, the four-way stretch fabric provides full freedom of movement.
Sizing for Growing Riders
The Aiya tights are available in waist sizes from 20” to 28”, covering an approximate age range of 3 to 12 years old. A full size chart is available on the product page — ideal if you’re not sure which size to choose. Aaron reassures viewers: “They do come from a 20 inch waist all the way up to a 28 inch waist, so they'll fit a wide range of children.”
Perfect for Lessons, Hacking, and Stable Chores
These tights were created with real riding life in mind. The full silicone grip keeps kids balanced in the saddle, while the stretch allows easy movement for mounting, mucking out and running around the yard.
