How should I layer for winter riding?
Layering beats one bulky coat. Start with a fitted base layer that moves sweat away from your skin, add a warm mid layer, and finish with a waterproof or windproof outer jacket. Thin layers let you adjust as you warm up when schooling or cool down on a long hack. Base layers such as the Toggi Womens Winter Base Layer (from £47.99) are designed to sit comfortably under a jacket or body protector.
What are winter riding tights?
Winter riding tights are fleece-backed or thermal versions of everyday riding tights, with grip on the seat or knee. Popular choices include the Shires Aubrion Porter Winter Riding Tights in ladies' (from £39.60) and maids' sizes (from £31.50), and the Woof Wear Winter Riding Tights with a full seat (from £79.99). Check whether you prefer full-seat or knee grip before you buy.
Which winter gloves keep hands warmest?
Warmer gloves trade a little rein feel for insulation. For everyday riding, the Aubrion Patterson Winter Riding Gloves (from £11.70) and Hy Equestrian Thinsulate Leather Winter Gloves (from £21.11) are popular; for yard jobs, the Aubrion All Purpose Winter Yard Gloves (from £5.40) are a budget favourite. Our winter riding gloves page explains the warmth-versus-feel choice in more detail.
Do I need special socks for winter riding?
Long riding socks stop boots rubbing and add warmth. Winter versions such as the Woof Wear Winter Riding Sock (from £12.84) are thicker and often wool-blend. Make sure your boots still fit comfortably with thicker socks, as tight boots make cold feet worse.

Winter riding clothing: frequently asked questions
Are winter riding tights waterproof?
Most winter riding tights are warm rather than waterproof. Some have water-repellent fabric, but for heavy rain wear waterproof overtrousers or chaps on top. Each product page lists the fabric and features.
What should children wear for winter riding?
The same layering principle works for children: a base layer, a warm mid layer and a waterproof jacket, plus winter gloves and long socks. We stock children's winter riding tights and gloves, such as the Hy5 Childrens Winter Two Tone Gloves.
How do I stay visible on dark winter hacks?
Shorter days make high visibility kit important. Add a hi-vis vest or jacket for you and hi-vis exercise sheets or leg wraps for your horse, and avoid riding on roads in poor light where possible.
