Protect Your Legs

Boots for horse riding is a specialised subject. You must ensure that the footwear is fit for the kind of riding you do, whether in shows or in the mountains.

If you are a riding enthusiast, it is imperative that you buy boots that are fit for purpose. It is not good enough to get in the saddle wearing the nearest trainers you can find. Your legs and feet will need protection from falls. This is especially important if you have recently taken up the sport.

In order to buy the right riding boots you need to consider what kind of riding you do most. If you mainly enter shows, then high and tight fitting black boots should be worn. These will make horse and rider a smart and streamlined pair. Because these boots are difficult to put on and take off, most riders choose a pair with a zip.

As you can see, in the ladies section with have long boots available with exactly such zips. If you should still want to be up to date with fashion we have a boot available with a diamond stud detail in black.

If you are into rodeos and wild-west riding you should choose a boot that reaches no higher than the calf and they should also be loose fitting. For this type of equestrian sport they will be more comfortable to wear.In this equestrian world you might consider buying two pairs of boots. One that is cheap for working in the yard. This will protect your toes if a horse should step on your feet. The other pair could then be used for shows.

If you are serious about choosing the right boot you should choose comfort over style and fashion. Please make sure that the footwear meets your requirements of safety, comfort and style.
If you live in the highlands and do much mountain riding, you need good and sturdy riding boots that will withstand all weather conditions. You should make sure that the heel is substantial enough to keep your feet firmly in the stirrups.

Apart from rodeo riding all boots should come up high to the knee to protect the legs from horses' hooves and scratchy brush if you are riding in the mountains.
