The Excellent Quality Of Pikeur Riding Clothes

By Gwen Lowe


The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

The company is from Germany and has a long and successful tradition in the riding apparel business. They initially came to the notice of riders because of their beautifully designed dressage coats. Dressage is the most elegant of horse sports and requires many hours of training. Horse and rider work as a team and really have to have outstanding communications. Marks are also awarded for turn out and in a close competition only a few points may separate the winners from the losers. Every rider tries to get the advantage and having the very best clothes is all part of the picture.

Every rider needs a good pair of breeches or jodhpurs. These close fitting riding trousers are specially designed to stay comfortable even after hours in the saddle. The newer designs incorporate full seat suede patches that help the rider stay secure and can lead to higher show ring marks.

Shadbelly coats are available for both men and women. They are beautifully crafted from a combination of materials. Most of the coats today are over half polyester, blended with pure wool and a small percentage of elastane. This helps to give the coat just enough give to make the rider comfortable yet still maintain its classic look. The weighted tails help to keep them in place and not distract either horse or rider.

There is nothing so adorable as a tiny tot in full English riding attire guiding their trusted pony around the ring. Children also need great quality of clothes to look good and win. In addition the clothes are very durable and can often be passed on to a younger member of the family. Show shirts and jackets are also part of the turn out and must fit properly so the child is not distracted or made to feel uncomfortable.

Show jackets are among the best selling products in the line. The Tosca show jacket is one of the newest additions to the line. The stretch jersey fabric is very comfortable to wear and provides all the movement needed even by jump riders. The contrasting piping and decorative trim make it very popular with younger riders looking for something a little more stylish and updated.

There is also a complete range of children's riding wear. Many youngster compete in shows and need a great set of clothes that will last them through the season. Parents can get everything their child needs including a highly rated safety helmet.

Other accessories include beautifully cut show shirts. These are available in both long and short sleeve options. Belts can add a nice finishing touch to any show or stable outfit. Many people love the caps to wear around the barn. They are sporty, fun and come in a nice choice of colors.
