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 has been the official supplier to the German equestrian teams since 1972. Their clothes are so functional, yet still provide the elegance so closely linked to the world of horses. These animals are so powerful, yet graceful and very willing to work for their human masters. Their beauty is complemented by their rider and the classic riding clothes have developed with this gracefulness in mind.

The original piece of clothing that really made the brand famous was the dressage coat. Known as a Shadbelly this special coat is worn by all high ranking dressage riders in competition. It has a distinctive cut and long tails. Getting the style and fit just right is really difficult and once equestrians found the newly designed version they knew they were on to a winner.

Tradition is very strong in the horse world and show riders need to wear white, cream or beige breeches. There are dress and etiquette rules for every class and not adhering to them will result in a loss of points. Even the children must be dressed according the rules for their age and class. Those under the age of sixteen should wear jodhpurs and short boots, commonly referred to as jodhpur boots. Only after the age of sixteen are breeches and long boots considered acceptable.

Riding is a sport that does come with some risks. With this in mind safety should always be a top priority. The very latest technology has been incorporated into the helmet designs. Models are available for both adults and children that meet or exceed European safety standards. Not only are the helmets very safe but they are also comfortable to wear and loaded with additional features that riders love.

The ABS outer shell is coated with rubber for a slick look and the overall shape is very aerodynamic. Very important is that the neck padding is anatomically formed for maximum protection. The adjustable chin strap helps to keep the helmet secure, especially important in the event of a fall. The four point strap is one of the safest on the market, but also looks stylish.

Both the adult and children's models are certified to EN 1384 standards. They incorporate a flexible peak, washable cool max inset and a three way ventilation system that keeps riders cool on even the warmest days. The neck padding is specially designed to offer maximum protection and the ABS outer shell is sleek and aerodynamic.

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.
