First lesson but no jodhpurs

[alysonmarie]

Got my first lesson on 3rd August, but got no jodhpurs as sold all my stuff years ago. What's the best replacement to wear?

Thickish leggings (or dare I say "jeggings") and halfchaps.

Yep..thick leggings should do it..Primark are a good source of cheap stretchy bottoms .. My first lesson I didn't have any chaps and got badly bruised from the stirrup leathers so really worth getting some half chaps to wear.

Thanks, ill go Primark at the weekend, I did keep the half chaps so that's good.

I don't wear jodhpurs for riding, I wear stretchy jeggings and I have a pair of long waterproof leather boots which I stretched and worn in to fit over them. I'll be going to my first show in two weeks so will wear some jodhpurs then. Means I can pop into supermarket on the way home without feeling self concious lol

Be careful in leggings.
The first few times I was on a horse they were in my favourite leggings..
Sadly, I had to throw them out due to holes all along the inside seams.

Jeans rub, but leggings rub away and deteriorate.
They're okay for one lesson but make sure they're thick and not expensive.

Gawd, I just wear trackie pants most times I ride! Jods are only when I'm dressing up!

If you can't get chaps then wear a couple of pairs of tights plus a pair of knee high socks under track pants.

I recently saw a clever idea, tubes made of stretchy material that slid over the whole length of the leather.
