Kids Full Seat Breeches or Tights

In the high-performance sports of dressage and eventing, riders of all ages prefer to ride in full-seat breeches or tights which feature an area of extra padding over the seat, thigh, knee and upper calf area for optimum grip and security. Formerly, this patch was crafted from natural leather which was highly serviceable but made washing the breeches difficult as it tended to stiffen over time, leaving uncomfortable creases. The introduction of modern materials has allowed designers to incorporate stretchy faux leather or stunningly versatile silicone gel into current riding wear to provide the same function but without the previous discomfort. These developments have been particularly welcomed by junior riders who appreciate the increased mobility afforded by modern materials.

The extra security provided by full-seat breeches or tights is essential to allow riders to sit quietly and absorb the elevated steps of advanced dressage. They also boost confidence when tackling challenging cross-country obstacles when a rider’s stable position is vital to allow the horse to balance and focus on his fences. For beginner riders too, full-seat breeches or tights are a great boost to confidence while they learn the necessary skill of dynamic equilibrium – the ability to stay in balance while moving with the fluid action of the horse.

White or light-colored breeches are allowed for recognized dressage competitions, with white being the preferred option for a professional, stand-out look. The same options are available for eventers, with most wearing white breeches in the dressage phase and light-colored breeches in tan or beige for stadium and cross-country.

While teenagers will be ready for a pair of full-seat breeches, younger riders will really relish the opportunity to ride in full-seat tights which are easy to pull on, come in some exciting colors and are soft and stretchy to wear. Parents will appreciate that riding tights come at an affordable price, are ultra-easy to wash and are fun for kids to wear at home as well as at the barn.

B Vertigo has full-seat breeches for kids that emulate the sophistication of their adult range. With the same elegant tailoring, including a subtly-blended silicone patch, girls will love these breeches for their grown-up style complete with crystal bling over the pockets. Available in white for the perfect show-ring look, there are also some vibrant color choices for girls who want to wear the best and look their best every time they ride. Horze also offers a choice of full-seat breeches for kids, suitable for girls and boys, in show-ring appropriate colors.

Full-seat pull-on riding tights are great for little kids as there are no fussy buckles or zippers. Silicone gel patches provide a sense of security while blending into the overall design for a smooth appearance. In a range of fun colors these versatile lightweight tights are perfect for summer riding and working at the barn and have the added benefit of being easy to fit under another layer to provide additional warmth in winter. For fashion-conscious older girls, silicone gel full-seat tights with a cooling mesh strip have a glossy high waist band for a flattering, sporty look in rich, trendy colors.
