Best riding tights for summer

Say goodbye to breeches and hello to riding tights, the sporty and stylish look du jour at the top of every Equestrian’s wish list this summer. Horse riding leggings have grown in popularity over the last couple of years, and it’s easy to see why; unparalleled comfort with all of the features and benefits of classic jodhpurs and breeches, who wouldn’t want a pair of riding leggings in their wardrobe?

Here we put together the best of summer 2021’s riding tights, so you can spend the season riding in style:

Ariat Riding Tights

Performance and quality go hand-in-hand when it comes to Ariat, and their riding leggings are no different.

This holy trinity is basically everything that a horse rider is looking for in their legwear, making the Eos leggings perfect for the active equestrian. The Ariat silicone grip full seat will help you stay secure in the saddle during those unpredictable moments, and you can keep your phone close to hand while out riding (essential for emergencies) with the handy riding tights mobile phone pocket.

Available in a huge range of Ariat’s favourite colours, you’ll be sure to want a pair of these Ariat riding tights for every time you ride. Did we mention they are available in Kids sizes too?
