Anybody got any ideas where i could buy a pair for my daughter, have been trying to find a nice pair of long leather riding boots (not mountain horse ones) for a xmas prezzie for my daughter, didnt realise it would be this hard. Anyone know of anywhere. Thanks
 
I never got my daughter any (cruel mummy), I she always had boots and gaiters so that when she grew out/or wore out the boots they were replaced, also she did a lot of showing when she was smal and I think joddy boots and clips look more correct for a child. Some of the boot gaiter combos are so good its hard to tell the diffence - now she is almost grown up she knicks mine!
 
I'm an adult who wears child size boots (1-2) and had the same problem hunting for some smart boots for competition/BHS exams.
There really isn't much variety out there,the Treadstone ones look nice but are short in the leg no matter what size and width options.
I'm a foot size 1-2 so this really was a problem as the only reached my calf!

There's usually more choice the bigger the foot size so if she's a 3 or above then there are loads that are suitable.

Loveson do a nice long leather boot called the Chester -I think Robinsons do those and there are a few length/width options too.

Regent's start at a 3, and most other boots manufactureres will have something from that size upwards.

I had to go with Ariat Kids Long Field Boots, lovely long boots, any foot size, any length and any width -they cost £115 but they have lasted me 4 years of riding most days and still look good.
And a damn good price for pretty much made to measure!
They do sag a little at the ankle as they're such soft leather so do make sure to order taller.
They're available from all Ariat stockists- if they disagree ask em to check in their books!
And do check ebay and especially ebay US as they're quite popular over there.
Only downside is that they only come in black:(
