Winter Horse Riding Gloves

When cold, wet weather sets in, keeping your hands warm and functional becomes essential for safe and comfortable riding. Our collection of winter horse riding gloves is designed specifically to meet the needs of UK riders – offering warmth, grip, and flexibility for everything from daily yard work to winter schooling sessions.

Why Winter Riding Gloves Matter

Cold hands can affect your feel on the reins and overall control in the saddle. A well-chosen pair of gloves can make all the difference.

• Insulated Warmth Without Bulk
  Thermal linings like fleece or Thinsulate™ keep your fingers warm without compromising dexterity or rein contact.

• All-Weather Grip
  Many gloves feature textured palms and reinforced fingers for a secure grip – even in rain, sleet or muddy conditions.

• Comfortable, Secure Fit
  Stretch panels, adjustable cuffs and breathable fabrics ensure your gloves stay in place while you stay focused on your ride.

Choosing the Right Gloves for Winter Riding

Your ideal pair of gloves depends on your riding habits and the weather you're facing:

• Everyday Riders may prefer fleece-lined or waterproof gloves for warmth during hacks and yard work.

• Schooling and Competition riders often need a balance of warmth and rein sensitivity, especially during clinics or winter training.

Look for features like touchscreen compatibility, breathable insulation and reinforced stitching for added durability and convenience.

Dressing for the British Winter

Gloves are just one part of staying warm and dry in unpredictable UK weather. Building a complete winter riding outfit ensures comfort and performance across long yard days and frosty early mornings.

Pair your gloves with a reliable waterproof riding jacket that offers insulation and freedom to move. Breathable yet weatherproof, a good jacket helps regulate body temperature while shielding against rain and wind.

Footwear matters too. For truly cold, wet conditions, thermal muck boots or waterproof wellies provide warmth and grip whether you're turning out horses, mucking out or walking across icy fields.

Together with winter gloves, these items create a cold-weather kit that keeps you comfortable and in control, no matter how tough the forecast looks.

Caring for Your Gloves

Keep your gloves performing at their best with a few simple care steps:

• Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use

• Let them air dry naturally—avoid direct heat

• Store flat or hang to help maintain shape

• Avoid over-washing to preserve grip and waterproof features

Whether you're a daily rider or weekend hacker, choosing the right winter horse riding gloves helps protect your hands while supporting your connection with the reins. From insulated options for deep winter to breathable gloves for milder wet days, find a style that matches your needs – and your riding life.
