Wait, is the breech patch supposed to be on your thigh or like under your thigh?

I usually wear …
I usually wear jodhpurs or breeches with paddock boots. Sometimes I’ll wear half chaps.I feel like gloved hands aren’t nearly as sensitive as bare ones…..anyway, I was told that the knee patches are to keep your breeches from wearing out in the knees. EquitationStar- I agree with you. I always wear my own helmet, and since it’s a Charles Owen, it molded to my head and is wonderful.

cantyouread2 – Please try not to use barn helmets all the time, it’s better to get your own, since you have no idea how many times their helmets have been in falls, and they may not fit you correctly. Certain brands can start as low as $30 – go to your local saddlery and they’ll help you out

I always wear my breeches, and tall boots.:) I love them, They’re just such a comfortable pair. I used to wear my riding gloves all the time, now I only wear them sometimes. Usually ride in a tee or a tank top, gets soo hot riding. haha

i just wear chaps and jodphur boots, which work fine, but besides that i agree
January 29th, 2010 at 7:25 am
i agree, but it is …
and plus my jodphurs which are very nice were only like 20 to 30 bucks so they aren’t ilke expensive.
i agree, but it is a lot more comfortable wearing jods
and gloves help you grip the reins.
so if you show or ride english, i highly suggest to wear this. if not, well you are right, jeans work fine
January 29th, 2010 at 7:25 am
agreed! even with …
agreed! even with half-chaps, jeans rub really bad.
January 29th, 2010 at 7:25 am
I can’ t stand …
I can’ t stand wearing jeans when I ride cause they rub and aren’t very stretchy. And I always wear tall boots cause they help me get my heels down (At a show the other day I left them at hom on accident [an hour away from where we were] and had to warm up in my friends paddoc boots and it was like impossible to get my heels down) but as for the shirt, I don’t like tight fittign shirts and I don’t ever tuck them in (unless at a show, of corse)
