Top Of The Line Pikeur Riding Apparel

By Gwen Lowe


The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

The company is from Germany and has a long and successful tradition in the riding apparel business. They initially came to the notice of riders because of their beautifully designed dressage coats. Dressage is the most elegant of horse sports and requires many hours of training. Horse and rider work as a team and really have to have outstanding communications. Marks are also awarded for turn out and in a close competition only a few points may separate the winners from the losers. Every rider tries to get the advantage and having the very best clothes is all part of the picture.

Every rider needs a good pair of breeches or jodhpurs. These close fitting riding trousers are specially designed to stay comfortable even after hours in the saddle. The newer designs incorporate full seat suede patches that help the rider stay secure and can lead to higher show ring marks.

Shadbelly coats are available for both men and women. They are beautifully crafted from a combination of materials. Most of the coats today are over half polyester, blended with pure wool and a small percentage of elastane. This helps to give the coat just enough give to make the rider comfortable yet still maintain its classic look. The weighted tails help to keep them in place and not distract either horse or rider.

Most of the products are still made in Germany by highly skilled craftspeople. Yet buyers in the United States and all over the world are still able to order on line. The ordering process is very easy and a conversion features show the price in the local currency. Sizing in Europe is quite different to North American sizing and can be confusing. Any questions can be directed to the highly efficient customer service department who are only too happy to help.

Riding helmets are the most essential part of the wardrobe. Riding does have some dangers and every one will take a fall sooner or later. Wearing a well fitting helmet that exceeds the safety standards is the best way to protect any rider, especially a child. The company helmets are exceptionally well made and loaded with great features.

Show jackets are another staple of the company. Many people love the value for money Epsom jacket. It sports two rear vents that make it comfortable, plus two front pockets. It is also washable which really adds to its practicality. Horse shows go on whatever the weather and riders can end up very muddy. There is also an optional velvet collar feature available on the black jacket.

Helmets are one of the most important pieces of equipment. They should fit well and be comfortable. The company has realized that by providing both safety and style they have appealed to riders of all ages. Their helmets are loaded with extra features such as a four point harness and effective ventilation system.
