Practical Leg Protection for UK Riders

Our collection of gaiters offers everyday comfort and protection for riders who want a smart, practical alternative to long boots. Designed to cover the lower leg from ankle to knee, gaiters help shield your legs from stirrup leathers, mud, brambles and cold weather – whether you're schooling in the arena, hacking across country, or tackling yard work.

Why Choose Riding Gaiters?

Riding gaiters provide a snug, secure fit around your lower leg, giving added grip and reducing rubbing during time in the saddle. They're typically worn with jodhpur or paddock boots, creating a stable, flexible setup that supports your ankle while allowing freedom of movement. Their simple on-off design makes them ideal for busy riders who need reliable, practical gear as they move between the yard and the saddle throughout the day.

Gaiters offer the smart appearance of tall boots with added comfort and flexibility, making them popular for everything from daily schooling to unaffiliated competitions.

Choosing the Right Material

We offer a wide selection of gaiters in different materials to suit your riding needs:

• Leather gaiters – polished, long-lasting and close-fitting for a smart, competition-ready finish.

• Synthetic gaiters – lightweight, weather-resistant and easy to maintain—ideal for frequent yard or arena use.

• Suede gaiters – soft and breathable, great for summer riding or less intense sessions.

Fit and Features That Matter

Fit plays a key role in comfort and performance. Our gaiters come in various sizes to suit different calf shapes and heights, with features like full-length zips, stretch panels, and ankle fastenings to ensure a secure, non-slip fit.

When measuring, take the widest part of your calf and the length from your ankle to just below the knee. This ensures a fit that’s snug but not restrictive, allowing freedom of movement while maintaining contact and grip.

Pairing Gaiters with the Right Horse Riding Clothing

For the best performance and fit, gaiters are typically worn over close-fitting riding legwear. Choosing jodhpurs or breeches made from flexible, breathable fabrics helps your gaiters sit securely while reducing bulk around the ankle. This combination ensures all-day comfort whether you're in the saddle or on your feet at the yard. 

For added comfort and support, pair your gaiters with technical riding socks. Designed to reduce friction, wick away moisture, and cushion key pressure points, the right socks help keep your feet comfortable – especially during long rides or full days around the yard.

Easy to Use, Easy to Care For

Gaiters are built for convenience, with practical fastenings and durable zips that make them easy to pull on and off – even over paddock boots. Cleaning is simple too: just wipe clean or brush off dirt after use. Leather options benefit from occasional conditioning to stay soft and smart, while synthetic styles are low-maintenance and quick-drying.
