About

Riding breeches are an essential piece of attire for all equestrians as they allow freedom of movement and maximum comfort in the saddle. The design of riding breeches is based on the concept of being able to ride comfortably without restriction of movement or impeding communication with the horse. With many varying designs of riding breeches now available, it is possible to find the perfect pair of breeches for a perfect riding experience. Generally made from thin, elasticated fabric, riding breeches or as they're sometimes called, britches, allow the rider to feel the horse under their leg therefore enhancing the communication between horse and rider.

Full seat breeches are very popular among dressage rider and eventing riders. Full seat riding breeches can have either a regular waist, but are also very common as high waist breeches which offer improved comfort and fit. Knee Grip Breeches Similar to full grip breeches, knee grip breeches or knee patch breeches offer additional grip but in the knee area only. Again, the grip can be made from silicone or leather.

Knee grip breeches are very popular among hunter and jumper riders as they encourage the knee to remain on the saddle but allow you to move into a two point seat or jump jumps without the restriction of a full seat. Knee grip breeches are commonly available in low, regular or high waist. What is the difference between Jodhpurs & Breeches?
