Warmer days and shorter nights can only mean one thing – show season is right around the corner.

Whether you’re entering your local series or national competitions this summer, a successful show season requires a lot of preparation, both in and out of the saddle. So, if you’re searching for a horse riding helmet, or in the market for a new equestrian show jacket – we've got you covered.

Competition Wear

Suiting yourself up in the right gear is important all year round, but especially during show season. It's not just about looking good—it's about making both you and your horse feel confident and comfortable. Good competition wear - like show jackets and show shirts - isn't just stylish; it's also practical, keeping you cool and dry when it matters most.
