Footwear & Accessories

The right equestrian footwear does more than complete your outfit. It keeps you safe, supports your position, and holds up through every muddy morning and ring session. Our footwear and accessories collection covers everything from tall field boots and zip-up paddock boots to riding gloves and the small essentials that make barn life a little easier.

Tall boots are a long-term investment, and we take that seriously. Whether you're looking for a sleek dress boot for the show ring or a durable field boot for daily schooling, fit and leather quality are everything. A boot that pinches at the calf or collapses at the ankle will compromise your lower leg position and your comfort in ways that affect your whole ride. 

Paddock boots are the workhorses of the equestrian world. Pair them with half chaps for a field boot-like silhouette, or wear them solo for barn chores and quick rides. Look for a sole with enough heel to keep your foot secure in the stirrup and ankle support that doesn't quit after a long day on your feet. Jodhpur-style boots with a side zipper are especially popular for their easy on-and-off and clean lines under half chaps.

Riding gloves deserve more attention than they usually get. A good pair improves your feel on the rein, protects your hands from rope burns and cold, and helps maintain a consistent grip in all weather conditions. We also stock the accessories that round out every equestrian kit: helmet bags, boot pulls, spur straps, and the other thoughtful extras. We've got you covered head to hoof!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between paddock boots and field boots?
Paddock boots (also called jodhpur boots) are ankle-height riding boots, typically worn with half chaps to create a field boot effect for schooling and shows. Field boots are full-height tall boots that lace at the ankle for a closer fit and a staple in hunter/jumper and eventing. Tall dress boots have no lacing and are the traditional choice for dressage. Paddock boots are far more versatile for daily use; field boots and dress boots are primarily show-ring footwear.

Do I need special gloves for horse riding?
Riding-specific gloves are worth it. They're cut to allow a relaxed,  natural grip on the reins with reinforced palms that hold up to leather wear and rope friction. General workout gloves can work in a pinch, but they rarely offer the tactile sensitivity riders need to feel subtle rein communication. For winter riding, look for fleece-lined or neoprene styles that maintain dexterity in the cold. For shows, a classic tan or white leather or synthetic glove is the standard choice.

How do I care for leather riding boots?
Clean off dirt and sweat after every ride using a damp cloth, then condition with a quality leather balm or boot conditioner every few weeks. Avoid harsh detergents or over-soaking the leather. Use boot trees or stuff the shafts with newspaper when storing to help them hold their shape. For tall boots, a boot pull is genuinely useful to protect both the boot and your lower back during what can otherwise be an awkward removal process.

What accessories do I actually need as a new rider?
Start with the essentials: a certified helmet, proper riding boots  with a heel, and a pair of gloves. Beyond that, a quality pair of breeches and a body protector for jumping or cross-country round out your safety kit. Once you're settled in your discipline, accessories like half chaps, a schooling whip, and a grooming bag become the next logical additions.
