Riding Gloves

Comfort, Control and Protection for Everyday Riders

Whether you're out hacking, schooling in the arena, or doing daily yard work, a good pair of riding gloves can make all the difference. Designed to protect your hands and improve rein contact, they’re a staple piece of kit for riders at every level.

Why Every Rider Needs Riding Gloves

Horse riding gloves offer essential grip, help prevent blisters and calluses, and protect your hands from wind, rain and abrasion. In cold weather, thermal-lined styles keep fingers warm without compromising feel. For warmer months, breathable mesh gloves offer grip without bulk, ideal for schooling or summer hacking.

Modern features like touchscreen-compatible fingertips and reinforced rein areas add convenience and durability - great for busy riders who spend hours in the saddle or on the yard.

Riding Gloves for Every Season and Style

Our riding gloves range covers every type of rider and condition, from everyday hacks to competition days. For regular use, breathable and washable horse riding gloves are perfect for staying comfortable in the saddle and on the yard. In wet conditions, waterproof riding gloves help maintain grip and keep hands dry - especially useful for winter turnout or rainy rides.

For dressage or showjumping, competition gloves offer a smarter finish with flexible materials that still provide excellent rein contact. Cold-weather riders can opt for fleece-lined or insulated winter riding gloves, designed to keep hands warm during frosty mornings without compromising control. We also stock children’s riding gloves, made to fit smaller hands with features like extra grip and easy fastenings - ideal for young equestrians learning the ropes.

Fit, Features & Function

A properly fitting pair of riding gloves should offer control and comfort without limiting movement. Key features to look out for include reinforced panels between the fingers for added durability, stretch inserts for flexibility, adjustable cuffs for a secure fit, and textured or silicone-grip palms to help you maintain steady contact with the reins.

Gloves are just one part of a rider’s wardrobe. Coordinating them with the rest of your gear - from riding hats to breeches - ensures comfort and confidence whether you’re in the saddle or on the yard.

Caring for Your Riding Gloves

With the right care, a quality pair of gloves can last season after season. Leather gloves should be cleaned with gentle saddle soap and kept dry and supple. Most synthetic gloves are machine washable -  just avoid the tumble dryer to prevent shrinkage or stiffening.

Shake off mud and dust after each ride, and store your gloves with your other horse riding clothing accessories to keep them protected and easy to find.
