Riding Tights - good brands for shorter people!

[Scottynewbie]

Happy New Year!
Could anybody recommend brands of riding tights that would suit somebody under 5ft4 please?
I was bought a pair of Dublin tights for Christmas but they are about 4 inches too long!
I thought I'd seen an HKM chart saying they had an inside leg of 28" but can't seem to find the chart again...
Thank you for any ideas

Hmm, I’m 5’1 and have the Dublin warm it and cool it tights & they hit top of ankle bone.

I really, really like my Lemieux ones. I'm 5.2 and they are perfect. Lovely and comfortable. Thick waistband and a great pocket in the thigh for a mobile.

I'm 5ft and absolutely love the Horseware tech riding tights - fit perfectly and so comfy!

These ones, can probably find cheaper elsewhere...

I can vouch for le mieux as well and gs equestrian knee patch riding tights are short. Just togs are also short ?

I'm 5.3 (I think, 160 cms? Can't handle Imperial), and my LeMieux breeches are perfect. Not cheap though, so I mostly buy the house brand from a Dutch tack store chain that from time to time has a shorter model that fits me. Otherwise, it is trial and error, lots of error.

I'm a shortie - 5'3 - and always struggle with jods.

Wish I had the nerve to squeeze my dubious proportions into riding tights....... 'twould frighten the horses if I did for sure.

Blackfort are good! Flexars have a shorter range. I tend to just fold up the bottom of any that are too long and put them under my socks!

Equine Splendour fit well. I'm 5'2".

I wear tights mostly and I have a big butt ?

I'm 5'1" and like the Noble Outfitters and Horzehoods (once they've been washed a few times).

i am 5’ and a size 10.
I have bought Countrydale thermal riding tights this winter and they are very comfy and a good length. They do come up large so I have bought size 8.

Thanks all! Those give me something to go on, I'll get looking. I have no intention of inflicting the sight of my bum in tights on anyone - I always make sure a long top/coat covers the offending parts . I

I’m 5’2” and without doubt the best riding tights are Brodelle! I have several pairs along with other makes but they are by far the most comfortable and great value. I just wish they did more colours!

Gorringe do their jodhpurs and breeches in a short leg length. I don't know the quality though.

Hi Puzzled! I was just looking at the Brodelle ones and saw these: https://www.brodelleequestrian.com/...pro-fleece-lined-riding-tights-leggings-black
Are they anything like the pairs that you have? Really want to try getting the sizing right this time!

i have some john whittaker ones that are a nice length on me and i’m 5”2, but i got them from a local tack shop so no idea on what they are specifically haha. le mieux ones are a nice length too, and flexars do a petite range!
