Built for Daily Riding Life

Moretta is a trusted name in practical, rider-focused equestrian gear. Their gaiters and half chaps are designed with secure fastenings, soft linings and durable outer materials –ideal for use all year round. These styles combine well with short riding boots from the Shires Moretta collection, giving you a boot-like finish that’s flexible and supportive.

Easy to put on and take off, they’re a convenient choice for anyone who moves between stable duties and riding during the day.

Half Chaps: Flexible Everyday Support

Moretta half chaps are perfect for schooling, hacking, and day-to-day riding. Their close-contact fit reduces rubbing, adds grip in the saddle, and helps protect your legs from wear caused by stirrup leathers. They’re a popular alternative to full boots thanks to their lightweight design and simple zip fastening.

These half chaps pair comfortably with technical socks from the Shires Aubrion range, which provide cushioning, moisture-wicking and all-day breathability – ideal for long hours in boots.

Gaiters: Smart Finish, Everyday Practicality

Moretta gaiters offer a sleek, structured appearance – perfect for unaffiliated competitions or smart riding lessons. Worn over the lower leg and secured with full-length zips, they offer support and a polished look when paired with your short boots.

With synthetic, suede and leather-look materials available, Moretta gaiters cater to different rider preferences and budgets without compromising on appearance or performance.

Get the Fit Just Right

A secure fit is essential for comfort and stability. Moretta gaiters and half chaps are available in a variety of calf widths and heights. Elastic inserts and stirrup straps help keep them in place, whether you’re schooling in the saddle or walking the yard.

Make sure to measure around the widest part of your calf and from your ankle to just below your knee to find your best size match.

Low Maintenance, High Durability

Moretta’s materials are designed for regular wear and easy care. Most synthetic styles can be wiped clean, while suede and leather designs benefit from occasional brushing and conditioning. They’re ideal for riders who want hardworking legwear that stays looking smart with minimal effort.

Complete Your Riding Kit

To make the most of your chaps or gaiters, choose well-fitting breeches or jodhpurs that sit smoothly under the legwear. This reduces friction and keeps your ride comfortable from start to finish.

And for essential protection on every ride, round off your outfit with a Karben riding hat. These hats combine modern style with certified safety standards – giving you confidence whether you're in the arena or out on a hack.

Whether you're a weekend hacker, daily rider, or managing horses full time, the Moretta Half Chaps & Gaiters collection is built to meet the demands of British equestrian life.
