Do you wear jodhpurs?

[Hormonal Filly]

On a daily basis, just when hacking/schooling/riding at home?

I always wear jodhpurs in competition but a girl on the yard commented shes never seen me in jodhpurs. I tend to wear leggings, jeggings and sports trousers (which look similar to come jodhpurs) but I don't own any jodhpurs that aren't competition ones, cream or white.

 

[little_critter]

Yes, I wear breeches most of the time.

 

[The Trooper]

I wear jeans most of the time, they have big pockets which my breeches don't have. I have 3 pairs of breeches, all with holes on the thighs from picking out feet...

 

[lauracwd2]

Riding tights for me all the time now, occasionally leggings or jeggings.

 

[Cortez]

Not if I can help it; hate the things. When I rode for a living I had to wear them, now it's the 'ol baggy sweatpants look - I'd rather be comfortable whilst doing all the other jobs that having a yard and land require (which take up far more time than actual riding). Easier to wash and much, much cheaper.

 

[ihatework]

I never wear jodhpurs but always wear breeches to ride

 

[Slightlyconfused]

Mainly skinny jeans, with give not the ones you. Feel trussed up in.

I have a few pairs of jods that I feel comfy in. As my size is smaller I struggle to find ones that fit.

 

[atropa]

More likely to wear leggings/joggers/riding tights than jodhpurs at the minute if not out competing.

 

[meleeka]

Skinny jeans or leggings usually. I do own a couple of pairs of breeches which are comfortable but as my horse is currently out of work, so are they.

 

[sportsmansB]

I mostly only ever ride in full seat breeches - at home and at comps
I think its just habit!
I do have one pair of riding tights type things and I mostly wear them on riding hols, or occasionally if I have to go straight to pilates from riding as they can almost look appropriate (apart from the mud and hair!)

 

[milliepops]

always breeches to ride

 

[Peter7917]

same stuff I wear to the gym normally so the lycra legging things. its nice to go straight from the gym to the yard and not have to get changed

 

[Chippers1]

Always riding tights at the moment (unless competing). Always used to wear jodphurs before riding tights were invented!

 

[Highflinger]

Always jodhpurs. Not tried the riding tights

 

[Meredith]

Pale colour jods are kept for best occasions so are quite rarely used. Dark ones, usually bought in the sales, for all other riding. I can’t wear breeches as they are always far too long.
As there is always too much length I alter my jods to have strapping under the foot. If I don’t do that I get blisters from the knee creases.
I haven’t yet found anything with short and narrow enough legs with a waist size that fits me. I alter everything to fit.
I don’t think that stretchy leggings etc, which I haven’t ridden in but wear to the gym, would be thick enough.

 

[Pippity]

Jodhs, breeches, or riding tights. If I'm hacking, I try to wear my hi-viz riding tights. Otherwise, my current faves are a pair of purple checked jodhs I picked up from Amazon for a fiver. I hate having a seam between my legs and the saddle because it really rubs my skin. I tried riding in jeans once, and was actually bleeding by the end.

I work from home most of the time, so I'm pretty much always in either jodhs or pyjamas!

 

[dogatemysalad]

Breeches or riding tights for riding but never for doing yard work. I don't ride in jeans because the inside seams might scratch the saddle.

 

[MotherOfChickens]

always breeches-I'd wear them all the time if I could, feel at home in them.

 

[Mule]

I usually wear riding tights. I've recently taken to wearing tracksuits and wellies. I never wear jodphurs now, I don't find them comfortable.

 

[teddypops]

Breeches or jodhpurs all day, every day!

 

[Carlosmum]

I have aldi jods which are more like breeches as the bottom of the legs are not cuffed. Wear them for hacking/schooling etc and other times if I can get away with it they are sooo comfy. Canary, white & beiges breeches for competitions.

 

[AFB]

I do now, I used to wear jeans all of the time but actually found I wore them out faster than full seat breeches and I like the additional security they provide.

 

[Orchard14]

Always breeches for competition, but ever since I discovered riding tights I have been riding in them daily at home - love them! If I'm not planning on riding I'll wear a scruffy old pair of jeggings, sometimes I do end up hacking when I've planned not to so have ridden in them paired with wellies for ultra glam . Chaps, if you are riding in jeans please make sure they don't have zips/buckles on the back pockets and make the same mistake I did as a teenager in scratching my saddle.

 

[criso]

Yes Jods or Breeches as they are some of my most comfy items of clothing. Jeans are too restrictive even ones with a bit of stretch. Don't like baggy trousers like sweat pants and only use those is going to a show and need something to keep jods clean before I get there. I occasionally wear leggings if I've come straight from yoga but find then a bit thin and saddle rubs my legs and I'm not skiinny enough for these to be a good look outside a gym.

 

[JFTDWS]

Skinny jeans - unless they're all in the wash, when I might drag out an old pair of breeches / jodhs.

I haven't even competed in breeches in a few years. I bloody love low turnout standards at things like TREC!

 

[nikicb]

Breeches for lessons, clinics, competitions etc. Skinny jeans the rest of the time. x

 

[TPO]

Jeans always.

Even have a cowboy horse now so I can legitimately wear jeans ha ha

 

[Annagain]

I've got a variety of jodhpurs (cheap ones from Aldi) and few pairs of riding tights/leggings that I wear when I'm riding. I'f I'm just doing jobs, especially in the week as I go straight to/from work before/after I tend to wear my work clothes with jogging bottoms and a coat over the top - although work's a bit crazy at the moment so I've been arriving late and rushing so I've done a lot in work dresses recently!

 

[DabDab]

Riding tights, jods or breaches to ride yes.

 

[Pearlsasinger]

Breeches for riding, sweat-pants/joggers for everything else. Unless, of course, I am working, when I wear business dress.
