LeMieux Young Rider Kennedy Show Jacket for Juniors
Description
LeMieux Young Rider Kennedy Show Jacket
The LeMieux Young Rider Kennedy Show Jacket is a competition jacket scaled down from the signature adult Kennedy design to fit young riders properly through the chest, shoulder and sleeve. It is best for junior competitors who need a smart, traditional coat for showing, dressage and jumping classes without the bulk of a cut-down adult jacket.
Sparkle-free lapels and a back belt keep the look classic and ring-appropriate, while perforated side vents lined with performance air mesh add breathability on warm show days. Browse more LeMieux competition wear to build a coordinated turnout.

How to Use
- Measure the rider across the fullest part of the chest, over a competition shirt, and check against the size chart before ordering.
- If a body protector or base layer is worn underneath, measure over it or size up.
- Try the jacket on and fasten the front zip and branded poppers, then check the rider can bring both arms forward into a jumping position.
- Check the back belt sits level and the lapels lie flat when the rider is in the saddle.
- Hang on a shaped hanger between classes and store in a garment bag to keep the shoulders and lapels sharp.
FAQ
Is this jacket suitable for showing and jumping classes?
Yes. The sparkle-free lapels and back belt give a classic, understated look that suits showing, dressage and jumping classes where a traditional competition jacket is expected.
How does the Young Rider fit compare to the adult Kennedy jacket?
It is the same signature styling scaled to young rider proportions, so it is smaller through the chest, shoulder and sleeve than the adult version rather than simply shorter.
What size should I order if the rider is between sizes?
Order the larger size. Growing riders and those who wear a body protector or base layer underneath will get better shoulder movement over fences in the bigger size.
Will the rider get too hot in this jacket?
Perforated side vents lined with performance air mesh allow air to move through the jacket, which helps young riders stay cooler under pressure on warm show days.
Are there usable pockets?
Yes. The pocket flaps have concealed zips, so treats and small items stay secure without breaking the clean lines of the jacket.
How should the jacket be cleaned?
Follow the care label sewn into the garment, and hang the jacket on a shaped hanger rather than folding it to keep the lapels and shoulders in shape.
