Choosing Jodhpurs Wisely Will Increase Riding Pleasure

By Cornelia White


Correctly fitting outfits for riding can be a vital requisite of good deportment. Approved guidelines set recommended standards. But, problems can still develop in deciding what to wear. You should choose your jodhpurs correctly to make a fundamental difference in your equestrian experience.

There is a reason why special attire was designed for riding. As critical points of contact between the horse and its rider are made with riding pants, properly clothing makes a significant impact. Ordinary trousers caused discomfort. The form fitting design prevents twisting, chafing, and other problems causing discomfort.

Riders wear these specially designed trousers for cross country training, show jumping, dressage and every day activities alike. Whatever the activity, this attire has a design which favors the well being and protection of riders. The seat layout is intended for a surer grip of the saddle. Knee padding guards the knees and seams are positioned so that rubbing is inhibited during the activity.

Beginning riders are often puzzled by how jodhpurs differ from breeches. The basic difference is that the former piece of clothing is form fitting trousers and extends to the ankle. Typically, stretch fabrics used in this style for comfort and a close fit. Various fabric types may be utilized in their creation. Breathable fabric discourages overheating during equestrian exercises and the flexible nature of this fabric brings enhanced comfort. Riders can wear them with long boots or with jodhpur boots and chaps.

Judges favor jodhpur use for showing as this length illustrates leg positioning better. This is why student riders are advised to use them for this purpose. Riding instructors find them useful in observing how learners position their legs.

Riders wear breeches with knee length boots. This is because they are shorter and extend only to the mid calf. But, their shorter length enables more control at the ankle. Riders in dressage favor their seat patches for the leg control and security they provide. Show jumping riders favor breeches with padding and grips at the knees.

The general public has no idea how complicated a seemingly straightforward decision about fabric may be. There are pros and cons with each possible market offering. As an example, consider how polyester is favored when durability and cost is taken into account. Yet, its slippery nature is not desirable. It also has poor absorbency and has no stretch characteristics that are valuable to riders. A blended fabric may improve absorbency, yet this does not improve the stretch quality of the material.

Optimal comfort and suitability is offered by Cotton lycra cloth. This fabric is flexible, tough and absorbent. After selecting the cloth type, there are knee patch and underpass differences to be mulled over. For closer grips, both suede and ultra suede patches are acceptable. The man made material is easier to handle and is more inexpensive. The underpass strap ties the pants down and fits them more tightly to boots. When they are inadequate, they do not support the pants properly. Picking out the right jodhpurs requires thoughtful consideration.
