What type of breeches are best for dressage in Australia?
For dressage, full-seat breeches with silicone grip are a popular choice as they provide excellent saddle security. Look for high-waisted styles in conservative colours like white, beige, navy or black. Our competition breeches range includes options that meet EA dressage regulations.
Are full-seat or knee-patch breeches better?
Full-seat breeches offer grip along the entire seat and inner leg, ideal for dressage and riders who want maximum security. Knee-patch breeches provide grip at the knee and offer more freedom of movement, making them a versatile choice for jumping, eventing and everyday riding.
What colours are allowed for competition breeches in Australia?
Traditional competition colours include white, beige, light grey and navy, depending on the discipline. Always check current Equestrian Australia or your discipline's rules for the most up-to-date requirements. Our competition breeches are available in approved colours.
How do I care for my riding breeches?
Most breeches should be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C, inside out, and air-dried away from direct heat. Avoid fabric softeners as they can degrade silicone grip and stretch fabrics. Always check the care label on your specific breeches.
Do you stock breeches in plus sizes or extended sizes?
Many of our breeches brands offer extended sizing. Check individual product pages for available sizes, or contact our team for guidance on the best fit. Our goal is to help every Australian rider find comfortable, well-fitting breeches.
Can I return breeches if they don't fit?
Yes, we offer returns in accordance with our store policy. Please check our returns page for full details on timeframes and conditions. We want you to find the perfect pair of breeches for your riding needs.
