What are horse riding tights called?

Horse riding tights, often just referred to as "riding tights," are a modern alternative to traditional jodhpurs or breeches. They're designed for comfort, flexibility, and style. And if you're wondering where to find the best ones, just check out our JODHPUR COLLECTION.

What's the difference between horse riding tights and jodhpurs?

Ah, the age-old equestrian debate! While both are designed for riding, jodhpurs are traditional, often thicker, and come with a reinforced knee patch. Riding tights, on the other hand, are the trendy younger sibling. They're lightweight, flexible, and often come with nifty features like phone pockets. Think of jodhpurs as the classic leather boot and riding tights as the sporty sneaker from our HORSE RIDING BOOT COLLECTION.
