Poise Contour Breeches - Black
Every rider ends up with black breeches, and the difference between a good pair and a cheap pair shows by about the third wash.
This is the everyday workhorse of the Poise range: a soft sculpting performance fabric with gentle compression, cut to move with the leg.
How it works
Compression through the seat and thigh holds a stable position without gripping the waist, so it works for flatwork and jumping alike. The weave is dense enough to resist pilling where the saddle rubs.
Why we rate it
We rate this pair as the one to buy first if you are only buying one, because black goes under any jacket and shows less arena dust than navy. Start here, then add a colour. See breeches.

Product FAQs
How do I choose the right size for the Poise Contour Breeches - Black?
The Poise Contour Breeches - Black by Lady Godiva Equestrian follows standard breeches sizing based on your natural waist measurement. Use a soft tape measure around the narrowest part of your waist. If you're between sizes, size up — equestrian breeches are designed with stretch but a too-small waist will be uncomfortable in the saddle. Check the Lady Godiva Equestrian size guide above for exact measurements.
What's the difference between full-seat and knee-patch breeches?
Full-seat breeches have grip material extending from the knee to the seat, providing maximum stability in the saddle — ideal for dressage and flatwork. Knee-patch breeches have grip only at the inner knee, offering more freedom of movement — preferred for jumping and eventing. The Poise Contour Breeches - Black is designed for the grip style shown in the product images.
Can I wear the Poise Contour Breeches - Black for EA competition?
Check the product description for specific competition approval. The Poise Contour Breeches - Black is competition-legal if it meets EA requirements for your discipline — typically beige, white, or navy for most classes. Refer to the current EA rule book for your discipline to confirm.
How should I care for my Lady Godiva Equestrian breeches?
Machine wash cold inside-out, no bleach, no fabric softener (it degrades the grip material). Hang dry or tumble dry on low. Avoid ironing the grip panels. Proper care extends the life of the Poise Contour Breeches - Black's stretch fabric significantly.
Do you ship the Poise Contour Breeches - Black Australia-wide?
