Riding hats, half chaps, riding jackets and jodhpurs are all familiar favourites for keen equestrians, but the subject of riding gloves often raises a few questions: should I wear horse riding gloves in the summer? What fabric should I go for? And, aren't they just for beginners?
Ultimately, every rider should be wearing a pair of suitable horse riding gloves for extra grip, added comfort, and most importantly of all, improved safety. Donning a pair of gloves all year round (yes, even during summer!) will ensure that you never lose your reins, or let them cut into your hands.
You'll be able to avoid blisters and chafing, reduce friction burns during inspections and keep your hands cosy and warm during the cold winter months. Alternatively, you can get your hands on a breathable fabric pair to make wearing gloves more pleasant during hot weather and stifling conditions. There are also multipurpose gloves that will seamless transition into everyday stable use in both wet and dry conditions.
