    Do guys look bad in breeches?

    That is completely uncalled for. Here in Australia most riders (Male and Female) wear Breeches for competition because they're so expensive, and Jods for casual/training. Personally I prefer Jods over Breeches to be honest. They are pretty comfy to ride in!

    Do guys look bad in breeches?

    In my opinion it depends on the person, and their body shape. That's the thing about breeches, it's what suits the person, and everyone is different. I know I can get away with wearing tight breeches because they suit my body and look fine on me, and you can't see anything "down there" but I...

    Do guys look bad in breeches?

    I totally agree with this. Not every guy is "huge" down there and most of the time you can't see anything. I understand how other male riders wear baggy breeches, but for me figure hugging ones are the most comfy. And don't get me wrong, I don't wear ladies breeches, I just get a men's style...

    Do guys look bad in breeches?

    That is true. People really don't care, unless you walk into a petrol station or work with them on. I find them way more comfortable to ride in if they're tight, not extremely tight, but "figure hugging". You can't "see" anything, and I'm quite a tall, thin guy. I guess it just depends on rider...

    Do guys look bad in breeches?

    I'm a male rider, and unfortunately I have to admit i do have a rather large wardrobe of breeches that I've collected over time, but my question is, do guys look bad in figure hugging breeches? In my opinion I hate them baggy. I prefer to fit in with all the other riders. Opinions?

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    Well. Good News. I had surgery, and it worked. Thank you to everyone who has been super supportive on this forum, I really appreciate it. I don't wet myself anymore, which is fantastic for riding. I feel like I'm a whole new person. I can even wear figure hugging breeches again.

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    Thanks for the advice. I really do need to stop worrying about what other people think of me. I can't change my problem, and I can't keep hiding it. I had an early morning ride today with one of my friends, and I wore my new breeches, and even she said they look better on me than the figure...

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    I wear Depends, basically Adult Pull Ups (almost all the time) except when I was riding. I never used to wet myself when I was riding or competing. I don't know why. And then I had my fall and I started to. I've never worn one of them underneath my Breeches.

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    I can't remember about Surgical Options, I'm going to really go and see my Doctor and ask. It will be worth it, and as you said there are several. As for my Figure Hugging Breeches, I ditched them today. Pleated breeches to look much much better. I bought a new pair for causal riding until I...

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    Thank you all for replying. I think it's time I tell the truth. I worded this whole thing wrong, but I was embarrassed to tell it straight. I actually can't control my bladder. Being 19 it's really really hard to talk about this. I've suffered from this since I was about 5. I've been to...

    Can incontinent riders compete at the Olympics?

    Hi, I'm a 19 year old Showjumper, and currently I'm jumping 1.10. I struggle with urinal incontinece and I can't control my pee, but Riding and competing is something that I didn't have to give up. I've always wondered, can riders who can't control their pee still compete in the normal Olympics?

    My Embarrassing Show Experience: What should I do?

    That is interesting, actually it might be a good idea to go and see a propper urologist! He didn't say for all time time, he just said for during the round. I don't like the idea of it either and I'm not going to do it because I'm not Incontient. Can I just add the practice Was super busy and...

    My Embarrassing Show Experience: What should I do?

    So, I went for a checkup. Turns out I have Stess Inconticence. It's not the worst thing in the world but the doctor explained to me what it is and basically I loose control of my pee when I'm stressed. I didn't even know it existed! He recommended that I trial wearing a nappy or something like...

    My Embarrassing Show Experience: What should I do?

    Hi, thanks for your reply. I'm penciled in for the doctors in the morning. As I flew headfirst over the jump I think it may have been embarrassment and the fact that I was scared, but I'm not sure as it just happened and i lost control for that moment in that split second. The chocolate sounds...
