Thinking waterproof, warm, winter, saddle covering, horse loin covering.... seems like a good idea but never seen anyone use on in real life?
Does anyone wear a riding skirt?

I've seen one which zips onto a jacket, it's puffy and looked very warm, can't remember the make. I googled and found one made by Mountain Horse but it wasn't the one I've seen.

This is mine 
my friend has one similar to your description, looks like this
I love mine, wear it doing jobs around the yard and then on horse. It is made from wax jacket type material with a lovely wool lining. My friends is more of a soft shell type material.

I have my 'hi viz flaps' as I affectionately call them - Horze brand hi viz skirt with zip up front -not loin covering but saddle and thigh covering. Bloody wonderful in winter. I'm planning on investing in a better one for winter as I am a 'hot' person but my thighs freeze!

Do you know what brand your friend's is? Although a shorter one would be fine as I have exercise sheets anyway.
Arctic horse gear seems to be having a break this year else I'd be looking to get one from them.
MrPF might want one too. ? Is it a riding kilt if a bloke is wearing it?
I'm just pleased they seem to be a real thing and I'm not completely crazy.

Ooooh I’ve wanted one for ages!
Looked at the noble one which seems to be impossible to buy now or maybe a uhip.
If anyone has one I’d love to know what you think

I really want one, mainly because my knees lock in the winter and I get crippled, but also because I like the idea of galloping along, skirt flying in the breeze like in black beauty.......???

Don’t know, I have only seen others ride in them.

Actual picture of what me and The Beast will look like if I bought one too. Amazing. ?

they are both from Arctic horse - I saw they were on a break as friends on the yard want to order theirs, having seen ours! Well worth the wait and money imo.

I don't wear one, but an ex-livery has just set up her own business making them - please check it out if you are considering one!

I've got the eqco one and it's nice, but I really wanted something more along the lines of Cortez's picture so I bought one of these from etsy
https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/593...f=sr_gallery-1-2&organic_search_click=1&frs=1
It's really gorgeous wool and cashmere, soft and heavy, made to measure for no extra cost.

Cor! That's lovely
All these things look great on the models, but I'm imagining slobber/bits of hay/mud/hairs all over them
The wax cotton ones would probably be easiest to keep clean(ish)

Those look awesome - feel like I’d need a very smart jacket and a veil to go with them - my scruffy hi-viz outfit would rather spoil the effect.
ETA I really want one now !
You must get MrPF one in tartan

I don't wear a riding skirt but I feel like I need to start! I think my mare would love being all cosy too.

Am so conflicted, I want a classy elegant Cortez style skirt but as most of my winter riding involves hacking so a sensible fluorescent one is much more advisable......but.......I want to look elegant zipping about ?

I'm going to go for elegant on the bottom.... flouro builders jacket on the top. ? It'll be a look.
Save the nice jacket and hat with a veil for mimbling round the fields... or beach rides. ?

Cor, that's lovely! Must make some. The Portuguese one is actually culottes, which I find very easy to ride in (and exceptionally elegant to wear in the bar after the fiesta......)

The pony wears an awesome hi-viz sheet in the winter anyway so TBH however glam I look the pony will ruin the look ?

Friend has the Arctic one but iirc it was extremely expensive c.£500? Absolutely gorgeous though and great for winter hacking. The Etsy one is lovely Amirah and quite reasonable!
