LeMieux Young Rider Clothing
What does the LeMieux Young Rider range cover?
It is LeMieux riding clothing cut for children and teenagers rather than scaled-down adult kit. This collection holds 22 products covering four everyday jobs: breeches for schooling and competing, show shirts and a show jacket for the ring, base layers and jackets for colder weather, and wellies and hat silks for the yard. In-stock clothing sizes run from 3-4 years up to 13-14 years, with wellies from UK Child 13 to UK 5. In-stock prices today start at £24.95 for the LeMieux Mini Reflective Print Hat Silk and go up to £139.95 for the LeMieux Junior Pro Show Jacket.

How do the Mini, Young Rider and Junior Pro names differ?
They are fit and size labels used in the product names, not separate brands. On this page the Mini pieces are stocked from 3-4 years up to 9-10 years, the Young Rider pieces from 7-8 years up to 13-14 years, and the Junior Pro pieces cover the widest spread: the Junior Pro Breeches start at 3-4 years while the Junior Pro Show Jacket is stocked from 7-8 to 13-14 years. Work from the age size printed on the item you are actually buying rather than assuming one label will carry a growing rider through every product.
Which breeches suit schooling, and which suit competing?
For lessons, hacking and pony club, the LeMieux Junior Pro Breeches (£39.95, black or navy) and the LeMieux Young Rider Pull On Breech (£39.95, in Benetton Blue, Chilli and White) are the everyday choices. Both sit at the same price, so the decision is usually about colour and whether your rider prefers a pull-on waist. When a child starts competing regularly and wants a smarter, more technical breech, the LeMieux Young Rider Freya Pro Breech at £59.95 (grey or navy, 9-10 to 13-14 years) is the step up on this page.
What does a young rider need for a first competition?
Whether a jacket is required depends on the discipline, the level and the rules of the organising body, so check the schedule before you buy. If a jacket is needed, the LeMieux Junior Pro Show Jacket at £139.95 is the option here, stocked in black from 7-8 to 13-14 years and in navy in 7-8, 9-10 and 13-14 years. Pair it with a show shirt: the LeMieux Young Rider Belle Show Shirt at £34.95 comes in navy or white from 7-8 to 13-14 years, and the LeMieux Mini Bella Show Shirt at £29.95 covers 3-4 to 9-10 years in white. Add cream, white or beige breeches if the class calls for them.
What works for cold and wet weather?
Layering is the practical answer. A base layer goes closest to the skin: the LeMieux Young Rider Base Layer is £34.95 (9-10 to 13-14 years) and the LeMieux Mini Reflective Print Base Layer is £39.95 (3-4 to 9-10 years), the latter carrying a reflective print for darker winter afternoons. Over the top, the LeMieux Young Rider Elite Soft Shell Jacket at £59.95 is currently in stock in 9-10 years. For the yard itself, the LeMieux Young Rider Wellies at £49.95 run from UK Child 13 to UK 5 in Jay Blue, Navy and Oak, with the widest colour choice in the smaller sizes, and the LeMieux Mini Reflective Print Hat Silk at £24.95 covers a riding hat in indigo.
How should children's breeches fit?
They should be snug enough that the fabric does not wrinkle under the leg against the saddle, but never tight at the waist or behind the knee. Ask your rider to sit and bend both knees while trying them on. Children grow fastest in leg length, so if they are between two age sizes and the waist still fits well, the larger size usually buys a longer season of wear. If you are stuck between two sizes, get in touch and our team will help.
Can you mix sizes across the range?
Yes, and most families do. A child might be in 9-10 years breeches, an 11-12 years base layer and UK 2 wellies at the same time. Buy each item to the measurement that matters for that item rather than forcing one age size across the whole outfit.
LeMieux Young Rider: frequently asked questions
What sizes does the LeMieux Young Rider range come in?
Clothing on this page is sized by age, and in-stock sizes currently run from 3-4 years to 13-14 years depending on the item. The Mini pieces are stocked from 3-4 to 9-10 years, the Young Rider pieces from 7-8 to 13-14 years, and the Junior Pro Breeches from 3-4 to 11-12 years. Wellies are sized by foot, from UK Child 13 to UK 5.
What is the cheapest LeMieux item in this collection?
The LeMieux Mini Reflective Print Hat Silk at £24.95 is the lowest-priced item currently in stock here. The LeMieux Mini Bella Show Shirt follows at £29.95, then the LeMieux Young Rider Base Layer and LeMieux Young Rider Belle Show Shirt at £34.95, and breeches from £39.95.
Which breeches should I buy for a child who is just starting lessons?
Start with the LeMieux Junior Pro Breeches at £39.95 in black or navy, which are stocked from 3-4 years, or the LeMieux Young Rider Pull On Breech at the same £39.95 for ages 7-8 and up. Both are everyday schooling breeches. Save the £59.95 LeMieux Young Rider Freya Pro Breech for when competing becomes regular.
Does my child need a show jacket to compete?
It depends entirely on the discipline, the level and the rules set by the organising body, so read the class schedule first. Many unaffiliated and lower-level classes allow a show shirt without a jacket. If a jacket is required, the LeMieux Junior Pro Show Jacket at £139.95 is the option stocked here in 7-8 to 13-14 years.
What should a young rider wear under a jacket in winter?
A base layer next to the skin is the usual starting point: the LeMieux Young Rider Base Layer is £34.95 for ages 9-10 to 13-14, and the LeMieux Mini Reflective Print Base Layer is £39.95 for ages 3-4 to 9-10 and carries a reflective print. Add the LeMieux Young Rider Elite Soft Shell Jacket at £59.95, currently in stock in 9-10 years, as the outer layer.
What if I order the wrong size?
Children's sizing is rarely exact, so we allow 90 days to return unworn items in their original condition and packaging. UK delivery is free on orders over £50; most single items here sit below that, so it is usually a two-item order that reaches the threshold. If you would rather check the size before ordering, get in touch and our team will help.
