Can you wear beeches with jodhpur boots and half chaps?

Can you wear this to ride.....?
You CAN although why you'd want you I've no clue. Chaps are more often used when you'll be riding through scrub and don't want your pants to snag on something. The most practical thing to wear would be either jeans or breeches depending on what's more comfortable, some boots with a little heel for gripping on the stirrup. You might want gloves and a hat, depending on the weather, condition of the reins and how often your horse likes to jerk his/her head and pull the reins tight.
Reply:I often wear my half chaps when riding. They are really comfortable and durable. They are not allowed in the competition arena, unless they are proper gaiters and match the colour of the short boot well.


The garter strap is a strap which is attached to the back of long leather boots, fastens around the top of the calf, and is correct dress when wearing hunt boots. I think you mean the 'stirrup strap' that passes under your foot. I always cut them off if I buy Jodhpurs with those horrid things attached! You can buy elasticated straps, with a clip at each end, that hold your jodhpurs neatly over your boots, but these are usually only ever used in competition...
Reply:yer but it is better if u wear the right things
Reply:That's totally fine. I've ridden in breeches, paddock boots, and half-chaps before. Half-chaps aren't just for keeping your legs clean and unscathed in the brush. They help provide better grip against the saddle, especially over fences for the lower leg has a natural inclination to slide backward. So go for it.
Reply:that would be very uncomfortable. I wouldn't suggest it. you can get cheap elastic clips to keep the breaches on or Robinson's has a sale on horse wear. hope this helped.
Reply:you can ride in anything you want to. i ride in shorts and flip flops in the summer.
