How do I pick the right size?
Cameo Equine junior tights are sized by waist measurement in inches, not by age. The Core, Summer, Winter and ThermoDry lines all use 20in to 30in waist sizes, while the Performance line runs 20in to 28in. Not every size is in stock in every colour at any one time.
Measure round your child's natural waist with a soft tape, keeping it snug but not pulled tight, and pick the nearest waist size. The fabric has plenty of stretch, so if the measurement falls between two sizes most parents size up for growing room rather than down. If you are not sure which to order, get in touch and our team will help.
What about the clearance pairs?
Clearance items are single garments in one fixed size, so there is no size choice. Right now that means a Grade B Junior Performance Tight in a 24in waist, white, at £13.12; a Grade B Junior ThermoDry Riding Tight in a 22in waist, white, at £18.95; and a Grade A Cameo Junior Thermos Tight in a 20in waist, purple, at £14.57. Grade A means near-perfect; Grade B means a cosmetic mark or packaging fault. Both are sold as fully wearable.
What is a grip seat, and does my child need one?
A grip seat is a panel of silicone printed onto the seat, or sometimes just the knee, of the tights. It increases friction against the saddle so the rider slips around less, which helps a child hold their position in rising trot and over fences.
For a rider having weekly lessons on the flat, the Junior Core Riding Tights from £19.95 are usually enough. Once a child starts jumping regularly or competing, the extra grip on the Junior Performance Riding Tights from £18.00 is worth having. Bear in mind that a grippier seat makes it slightly harder to shift position deliberately, which is why many riders keep a less grippy everyday pair as well.
Which pair works best in winter?
It depends on how wet the yard gets. For cold but dry conditions the Junior Winter Tights at £29.95 use a 4-way stretch thermo fabric with a silicone knee. For winter hacking where a phone matters, the Junior Winter Riding Tight at £29.95 is thermal, breathable and has a phone pocket. For genuinely wet, muddy days the Junior ThermoDry Riding Tight at £39.95 adds a water-repellent, scuff-resistant finish, which is the pair that copes best with mucking out as well as riding.
Are riding tights a replacement for jodhpurs?
For lessons, hacking and pony club rallies, riding tights do the same job as jodhpurs and most children find them more comfortable because there are no bulky inner-leg seams. For affiliated competition, dress rules vary by discipline and organising body, so check the current rulebook for the class your child is entering before competition day.
Cameo Equine junior riding tights: your questions answered
What sizes do Cameo Equine junior riding tights come in?
The main junior lines are sized by waist measurement from 20in to 30in, except the Performance line, which runs 20in to 28in. There is no age sizing, so measure your child's waist and choose the closest size. Clearance pairs are one fixed size each. Stock varies by colour, so a given size may be available in some colours and not others.
How much do Cameo Equine junior riding tights cost?
In-stock full-size lines start at £18.00 for the Junior Performance Riding Tights in selected sizes and colours, with the Junior Core and Junior Summer Tights from £19.95, the two winter tights from £29.95 and the ThermoDry from £39.95. Single-size clearance pairs start at £13.12.
Which Cameo junior tights are warmest for winter?
The Junior ThermoDry Riding Tight at £39.95 is the one to pick for cold and wet conditions, because it is water-repellent and scuff resistant as well as thermal. If the yard is cold but dry, the Junior Winter Tights at £29.95 with 4-way stretch thermo fabric and a silicone knee are a cheaper option.
Do any of the junior tights have a phone pocket?
Yes. The Junior Core Horse Riding Tights from £19.95 and the Junior Winter Riding Tight from £29.95 both include a phone pocket, which is useful for a child hacking out who needs to be contactable.
What does Grade A or Grade B clearance mean?
Grade A clearance items are essentially as-new, usually returned or ex-display. Grade B items have a cosmetic flaw such as a small mark or damaged packaging. Both are fully wearable and are sold at a reduced price in one fixed size only, currently from £13.12.
What if the size is wrong when they arrive?
You have 90 days to return them in unworn, resaleable condition with tags attached. If you would rather check the sizing before ordering, get in touch and our team will help you match your child's waist measurement to the right size.
