Samshield Show Jackets | Competition Riding Jackets | Emmers Equestrian
Step into the arena with complete confidence in a Samshield show jacket from Emmers Equestrian, available in-store and online with worldwide shipping. Samshield has built its reputation on the belief that competition riders deserve equipment of the very highest standard, and their equestrian show jackets are no exception. From the first impression at the gate to the final stride, a Samshield competition jacket ensures you look and feel the part at every level of the sport.
Samshield show jackets are cut from premium technical fabrics that balance structure with stretch, holding a crisp, tailored silhouette in the arena while allowing the freedom of movement that riding demands. The fit is precision-engineered for the saddle: the back lies flat through rising trot and lateral work, the shoulders sit square without restricting rein contact, and the hem length is designed to fall cleanly whether you are schooling on the flat or jumping a course. Available across dressage, show jumping, and eventing styles, there is a Samshield jacket for every discipline and every level of competition.
The Samshield competition jacket range spans classic black and navy for traditional arena dress, through to the brand's signature seasonal colourways for riders who want to make a statement while staying within competition rules. Every detail is considered, the collar lies flat under a stock or tie, the buttons are neatly recessed, and the inner construction is finished with the quality one expects from a brand that operates at the pinnacle of equestrian sport. Pair with Samshield breeches, gloves, socks, and a Samshield helmet available at Emmers Equestrian for a fully co-ordinated competition outfit.

Frequently Asked Questions - Samshield Show Jackets
What makes Samshield show jackets different from other competition jackets?
Samshield show jackets stand apart through the combination of premium technical fabrics, precision tailoring for the riding position, and the consistent quality that defines every product the brand makes. The cut is specifically designed for the saddle, not adapted from a fashion jacket, meaning the back stays flat, the shoulders sit correctly, and the fit flatters the rider's position rather than fighting it. The Samshield aesthetic is also distinctly modern: clean lines, considered colourways, and a finish that holds up to the scrutiny of the arena. Shop the full range at Emmers Equestrian in-store or online.
How should a show jacket fit for dressage or show jumping?
A well-fitting show jacket should sit close to the body without restricting movement. The shoulders should align with your own shoulder line with no overhang. The back should lie flat when you are in the riding position, not pulling upward or bunching. The sleeve length should show a small amount of shirt cuff when your arms are extended. The hem should fall just below the hip and sit evenly front and back. For dressage, a slightly longer, more tailored fit is traditional; for show jumping and eventing, a shorter, sportier cut is common. Our team at Emmers Equestrian can advise on fit for your specific discipline.
Does Samshield make show jackets for show jumping and eventing?
Yes, the Samshield show jacket collection covers multiple disciplines including dressage, show jumping, and eventing. Show jumping and eventing styles tend to feature a slightly sportier, more flexible cut and may be available in a wider range of colours and design details than the more traditional dressage styles. All Samshield jackets are built to the same standard of quality and construction. Browse the full range at Emmers Equestrian to find the right style for your discipline.
How do Samshield show jackets fit, do they run true to size?
Samshield show jackets follow European sizing and are designed with an athletic, close fit. If you are between sizes, have broader shoulders, or prefer slightly more room through the body, sizing up is generally recommended. The four-way stretch technical fabrics used in many Samshield jackets offer some flexibility, but the overall silhouette is designed to be fitted and tailored. We strongly recommend trying a Samshield show jacket on in person at Emmers Equestrian where our team can assess the fit on your specific build and riding position.
Can I buy a Samshield show jacket online with worldwide delivery?
Yes, Emmers Equestrian offers the full Samshield show jacket range online with worldwide shipping. Riders anywhere in the world can order directly through the Emmers Equestrian website for home delivery. For a garment as important as a competition jacket, we also recommend visiting one of our stores in Belgium or the Netherlands where our team can help you find the exact right fit and style in person.
How do I care for a Samshield show jacket?
Samshield show jackets should be hung on a padded hanger after each use to retain their shape and allow the fabric to breathe. Spot-clean minor marks with a damp cloth. For full cleaning, follow the care label instructions carefully, many technical competition jackets require a gentle machine wash on a cool cycle or specialist dry cleaning depending on the fabric composition. Never tumble dry. Store in a breathable garment bag between competitions to protect the fabric and construction.
Does the Samshield show jacket match other Samshield products?
Yes, the Samshield show jacket is designed as part of a complete competition wardrobe alongside the Samshield helmet, breeches, gloves, socks, and dressage tail coat. The cohesive design language and co-ordinating colourways across the range make it straightforward to build a fully matched competition look from a single brand. Emmers Equestrian stocks the complete Samshield competition collection in-store and online, our team can help you put the full outfit together.
