For the Rider: Safety, Comfort & Style | Emmers Equestrian
This is everything for you, the rider, rather than your horse: clothing and equipment that keeps you safe, comfortable and within the rules. If you're building a kit from scratch, here's what actually matters most. A couple of items deserve different treatment from the rest. Helmets and body protectors are built to certified safety standards, so they're the pieces to prioritise and not compromise on. Everything else, from breeches and tops to gloves and everyday boots, is about fit, comfort and personal style, and it's where our brands let you show your own. Build it up over time, and mix brands freely.
At Emmers Equestrian, we offer a carefully selected rider collection featuring premium equestrian brands trusted by riders worldwide. Our range includes riding breeches, competition jackets, riding shirts, base layers, riding gloves, helmets, riding boots, and accessories designed to provide comfort, safety, and functionality throughout the year. Modern equestrian clothing is developed with technical fabrics that offer breathability, flexibility, and durability, allowing riders to move freely while maintaining a professional appearance.
Our collection features leading brands such as Ariat, Aztec Diamond, BOSS Equestrian, Cavalleria Toscana, Dada Sport, Equiline, Kentucky Horsewear, Kingsland, KEP Italia, Parlanti, Pikeur, Roeckl, Samshield, and Trolle Projects. These brands are known for their craftsmanship, innovative materials, and stylish designs, making them popular choices among both amateur and professional riders.
Choosing the right riding equipment is about more than appearance. Properly fitted riding helmets, comfortable riding boots and technical riding apparel contribute to safety, confidence and performance in the saddle. By investing in high-quality equestrian products, riders can enjoy greater comfort during training sessions, competitions and everyday stable activities.
Tips for Choosing
- Starting from nothing? Buy your helmet and body protector first. They're the two items backed by a genuine safety standard, so they're worth spending more on than everyday clothing.
- Look for a helmet certified to EN 1384 and a body protector certified to EN 13158. Body protectors come in three protection levels, with Level 3 offering the most.
- Competing soon? Check your discipline's requirements before you enter. Dressage, show jumping, and eventing don't all ask for the same thing, and cross-country phases often call for a higher body protector level specifically.
- Try before you commit, especially for breeches, tops, and gloves. Fit varies enough between brands that a size chart alone isn't always reliable, which is where having several brands to choose from helps.
- Riding through changing seasons? A couple of thinner layers usually work better than one heavy coat, since you can adjust as the weather does.
