Here now our feature article about horse clothes or riding apparel.

An important part of any equestrian's riding apparel are  riding boots. Riding boots are leather shoes specially designed for horse riding. They can be longer or shorter and their design prevents the riders legs to be pinched by the saddle. They have a unique heel that ensures that the foot doesn’t fall thought the stirrup, and the sole is often completely smooth to avoid the foot being caught on the stirrup or a thread in case of a fall. They also have a hard toe, sometimes even steel toe to prevent the toes being injured during the accident. Owning a pair of quality leather riding boots is essential for every rider. Doesn’t matter is it show riding or just pleasure riding, good boots will ensure you comfort and maximum safety. However, since there is many different models,when buying boots you may find yourself quite confused about which ones s to pick. Generally, all boots can be classified in two categories- long ones and short ones.

Long: These are long, above the knee, boots usually made from leather but rubber models are also available. Since the leather ones are expensive, rubber boots can be a better choice for the beginners. They offer very good protection for the legs and ankles but they can be too much during the hot summers. Long boots include three subcategories: field, dress and hunting boots.

- Field boots are used in jumping disciplines like fox hunting, show jumping etc. They have the lacing that fixes the ankle tightly and that gives more comfort to the rider.
- Dress boots don’t have the lacing and are a little bit stiffer. They are more traditional and usually black.
- Hunting boots look just like the dress shoes but they have the cuff on the top. They are worn during the fox hunting and are usually black.

Short boots: Short boots are ankle length boots with elastic sides. The most famous type of these boots are Paddock or Jodhpur shoes. These boots are very practical but, since they don’t offer much protection to the legs and ankles,combining them with chaps and gaiters is a must. There is also a special type of gaiter know as “chapettes”, which, when worn to short boots, give the impression of long boots. Comparing long boots, the price of short boots is much lower so they are a very popular choice- especially for children and young riders.

When you try on the boot, the foot should feel neither too small nor large. There should be no gap between the foot and the sides of the boot and you should be able to wiggle your toes in your boots. Your heel should also sit comfortably without slipping when you walk.
