Horse Trekking Wear

Q: What should you look out for when it comes to trekking clothing?

Horse trekkers don't know bad weather, only bad clothing. Trekking clothing should therefore be suitable for all weathers. With the so-called layering system, you are flexible enough in changing weather conditions to be optimally dressed in any weather. While the first layer serves to regulate moisture with underwear and socks reliably wicking sweat away from the body, the last layer protects the trekker from external influences such as wind, rain or cold. The clothing varies from a light riding gilet to a warming winter jacket and a generous raincoat. Since the possibilities for luggage on a horse are limited, you should make sure that the clothing does not take up too much space in the saddlebags and is light in weight. Multi-functional garments, such as riding jackets with detachable sleeves, are among the favourite items in a horse trekkers wardrobe. It is also important that horse trekking clothes are safe and comfortable. This applies to a back protector just as much as to riding boots. In any case, the potential savings in luggage should never be at the expense of rider & horse safety. Riding hat, riding gloves and sturdy boots, for example, should be a must. A body protector or back protector are also a useful addition to reduce the risk of injury in the event of a fall.

Q: Which jacket is suitable for horse trekking?

Riding jackets for trekking protect you from the weather. From a light soft shell jacket in summer to a warmly padded winter riding coat, you have a choice depending on the season, regional conditions and individual preferences. However, the following basic requirements should be met by all riding jackets for horse trekking: Breathable Windproof At least water-repellent (better waterproof) Riding slits High wearing comfort Space-saving Robust Easy to clean Whether or not you need a special horse trekking coat should depend on the frequency of your planned treks. If you are going on a half-day or one-day ride, you can certainly use your normal (waterproof) riding jacket. Horse trekking jackets and coats have the advantage that they can cope with the demands of a trek, both in terms of weather and comfort. For example, the particularly popular oilskin trekking coats are extremely robust and tear-resistant, so that even getting caught on a branch usually does not affect the material. Trekking jackets are also equipped with practical details, such as reflective strips or spacious pockets for storing small items.
