Equi-Sential Amara Half Chaps for Adults & Kids
Description
Equi-Sential Amara Half Chaps - Easy-Care Everyday Riding Chaps
The Equi-Sential Amara Half Chaps are synthetic riding chaps worn over short jodhpur boots to protect the lower leg and give the close contact of a long riding boot. They are made for adults and children who ride regularly, and are best for everyday schooling, hacking, lessons and yard work where kit needs to be easy to clean and hard-wearing.
An elasticated calf panel shapes the chap to the leg for a secure, comfortable fit, and the secure bottom closure keeps it sitting neatly over the boot rather than riding up under the knee. Browse more half chaps and gaiters to compare styles.

How to Use
- Measure the widest part of your calf and the height from the top of your boot to just below the knee.
- Compare both measurements with the size options listed and choose the closest match.
- Put on your breeches or jodhpurs and short riding boots first.
- Fit the chap around the lower leg with the elasticated panel to the outside of the calf and fasten it.
- Fasten the bottom closure over the boot so the chap sits flush and cannot ride up.
- Check the top edge sits just below the knee without pinching, then mount and ride.
- After riding, wipe off mud and sweat and allow the chaps to air dry naturally.
FAQ
What are half chaps used for?
Half chaps are worn over short jodhpur boots to protect the lower leg from rubbing against the saddle and stirrup leathers. They give a closer contact feel similar to a long riding boot and are used for schooling, hacking, lessons and yard work.
What material are the Equi-Sential Amara Half Chaps made from?
They are made from synthetic Amara, which is easy to care for and durable, making it well suited to everyday riding.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the widest part of your calf and the height from the top of your boot to just under the knee, then compare with the sizes listed. If your calf falls between two sizes, or you ride in thicker winter breeches, the larger size is usually more comfortable because the elastic panel takes up any slack.
Are these half chaps suitable for children?
Yes. Equi-Sential Amara Half Chaps are offered in options for both children and adults, so they suit family yards and riding schools.
How do I clean my half chaps?
Wipe the outer with a damp cloth to remove mud, dust and sweat, then air dry away from direct heat. Do not soak or machine wash them.
Will they stop riding up while I ride?
The secure bottom closure fastens the chap over the boot and the elasticated calf keeps it close to the leg, which helps stop the chap creeping up in the saddle.
