Don't these look lovely - but could I ride in them safely?

V nice, they only problem could be getting your foot in your stirrup, otherwise personally dont see why not

personally I wouldn't ride in them
not only would it be hard to get in/out of stirrup but any leg aids would be really dull (if that makes sense)

Whats lovely about them?£90 for a pair of wellies is crazy in my world.I've never been a fan of Hunters.They never seem to last me long enough,and don't live up to the rigours of mud ,horse poo and wee!Personally i would spend the money on something else.Just my own personal opinion

I wouldn't. They don't look very safe if you fall- foot might get stuck. Also they look quite thick, which wouldn't be very good for feeling your horse and giving sensitive leg aids. Also i find wellies do not support your ankle very well and so affect leg stability. I have been known to ride in them on occasion when without my boots, but it's not very nice. And they're £90! Could get some quite nice long boots for that.

You could ride in them but only for about a week, because I doubt they will last much longer... lol
