Love smaller independent brands like these and wondered if anyone knew of anymore? Thanks!
I have some Arion Equestrian riding tights that are lovely quality (and were pretty cheap), but they've recently changed their design and seem to have ditched the nicer colours, which I don't like so much (but that's just me), though the quality will hopefully be the same!
I also recently bought some breeches from a company called Sporting Hares, which were also great quality, though I had to send them back because they didn't fit me, so I was slightly gutted as they were an end-of-line bargain!
It's a shame they've changed the material as that was one of the things I really liked. I wish they'd kept the old design as well as adding the new one! Please let us know how they fit.I've just bought a pair of the new design at Hoys , in a colour I didn't have. The material seems much more lightweight . It's not fleecey inside but I love how they've altered the pockets . Hoping they'll still be the same fit , love a high waist as it's much more flattering on me . Will look at sporting hares , can never have too many riding pants despite what the wife says haha.

Thanks for the update. It's a real shame about the lettering coming off, but I hope you get it sorted OK.So , wore new leggings yesterday . Positive points , I love the material , very flattering fit , it's like wearing actual tights ! New pocket design is good , plenty of room to fit a big Apple , not as fiddly as zip.
Bad points , as I put them on I noticed some of the lettering on the left leg has started to peel off very disappointing, it's quite obvious too . I emailed Alice yesterday explaining the fault , and that I hope I've just picked up a dud pair ( just my luck ). Hopefully she will be in touch soon as I'd like a replacement rather than a refund. It's odd as one leg, the lettering is fine , it's just the left leg . Would attempt to repair myself but crap at ironing . Could make a mess of ironing a tea towel haha.
Will update on this post when I hear back from Alice .
On a 5 year old big mare with no grips just sliding off they’re not so great ? hopefully they’ll make ones with grips soon I really like their aestheticI am a Blackfort Equestrian fan! The riding tights are so comfortable!
