need a tack shop that sells horseback riding gear and clothes. i need a monogram shirt and a show jacket. LOW BUDGET. please make sure the costs are fairly low. i am only 12 years old! i wear a 10/12 in clothes, and that should apply to horseback stuff, 2.
my favorite tack shop is State Line Tack. It is a LOT cheaper compared to any of the tack shops around my area even WITH S&H.
I am relitavely new to horses and riding. I wear full length jodhpurs under half chaps. I know a lots of people wear riding sock (the mid calf to calf high ones…) when they ride. Are these only worn with breeches( that go down to mid calf?)
I would also like to know if people could reccomend me a good, fairly priced brand of breeches that would fit a petite build, that are availible in canada, and more specifically BC.
Thanks
Boot socks, yes, are generally worn on top of breeches, but they should be fine with jods. However, I wouldn’t suggest wearing them with half chaps. The Boot Sox brand is usually to help get field boots on and off easier. Some are more substantial and keep your feet warmer, but I think they interfere with your contact with the horse. Half-chaps are kinda loose anyway, and adding that extra layer may not be something you want.
As for the breeches, can’t help you there, I’ve never been petite!
So yeah… depending on where you are riding, indoors or out, if you’re just wearing half chaps, I would wear wool socks. But if you decide to go the tall-boot route, I would wear boot socks, always with breeches or jods. If your tall boots are kinda snug, wear thinner brands like Boot Sox. In the same area of your store you should find thicker, warmer brands as well.
i have serious thighs and am really self-conscious when i wear my riding breeches…is there anything i can ride English in besides them?
or any reason not to feel self-conscious?
If you really want to wear jods you can get some flattering colours now. I wear two tone ones that have the darker colour on the outside panel to make thighs look slimmer and longer.
