Women's Riding Coats & Jackets

In theory, any jacket that offers enough freedom of movement and is not too flimsy is suitable for wearing while riding. However, A specialist riding jacket is still the best choice. Regardless of whether the jacket is intended for summer or winter use, it should be windproof, breathable and water-repellent at the very least. Waterproof riding jackets are of course even better, although usually a little more expensive. It also makes sense to have adjustment options such as a drawstring waist or a hood that can be removed or tucked into the collar. A riding jacket can never have too many pockets. It should have at least one inside pocket and one zippable outside pocket as an absolute minimum. If the jacket is cut a little longer, a two-way zip makes a lot of sense. When buying a riding jacket for a teenage girl or a child, the right colour is also important, so it can match their style.

A riding coat is always a good investment if you want to be outside with your horse even in bad weather. A quality riding coat will not only serve you well when riding, but also while doing groundwork, lunging or taking the horse for a walk. Since riding coats are longer than riding jackets, a coat will protect a larger part of your body from cold weather. This makes a considerable difference, especially during longer stays outdoors. Depending on how long the riding coat is, it may feature not only a full-length two-way zip, but also leg loops on the inside of the coat. This means that you can make yourself really comfortable on the horse while still being protected against the elements from head to toe. Of course, this is particularly noticeable when wearing a riding coat in winter.
