Tall, skinny teenager?

Me too GypsyTheCob! I'm only 5ft 8 but have a 34" inside leg, gave up trying to find proper jods so just ride in long leggings or normal jods with long socks! There are nice long leg ones but they are so expensive!
 
I have the same problem although am between a size 4 and a 6 and 5ft 7 with really long legs :( I too have resulted to having to wear normal jodhs with long riding socks or just leggings with riding socks when it's warmer :) It is a pain though :(
 
Go for breeches instead. Doesn't matter how long they are as long as you have appropriately long socks. (That's unless jods and short boots are needed for turnout reasons?)

I am 5ft 11, 36 ins inside leg and find breeches are definitely the way forward!
 
If she's skinny try men's jodhs, you can get the flat fronted ones that are just the same as ladies.

Or try Robinsons Robust Jodhs. They are the only jodhs I have ever had that are too long! I have a 33" inside leg and had a pair from them that were too long, I suggested DH try them as he struggles to find jodhs long enough and they were too long for him too!

Don't get breeches, if she has long legs they will be really uncomfy, DH and I both find that the cut off comes too high up and digs in under your boots. But she could get jodhs and wear them as breeches.

Or, google dobbies jodhs, she does very reasonably priced made to measure jodhs! I had a pair years ago when I was too tall and skinny for normal jodhs.

Ditto this, I'm by no means skinny, but I am tall, with 34" inside leg measurement - cant stand johds, breeches with long socks every time!
 
umm trying to think off the top of my head. I have a pair of Belstars which are plenty long enough for me (I have a good 34" inside leg), and I also bought a pair of HKM beige jodhs as a spare for competitions which are too long! the problem is that sometimes lengths vary between jodhpur models within makes. Both of the brands I listed I paid very little for the jods cant remember exactly but neither were more than £35 and I am chuffed with my belstars they are really comfy and cant complain at such a cheap pair of spare competition jods! :D.
 
I'm not tall but i'm seriously skinny with abnormally long legs xD. I'm 5ft2 ish with a size 23inch waist and a 30 leg :(

I would be able to recommend the perfect pair of jods but they don't make them anymore :mad:

but I found Mizz jods are pretty long, otherwise Breeches and long socks are a life saver! or you can get normal jods and just use long socks :D
