Why does clothing matter? What should you wear to go horse riding?

Have you ever experienced getting completely soaked while being out in the great outdoors with your horse? Have you ever worn an item which was not fitting well and therefore bothering your riding experience? All passionate horse enthusiasts must have had such an experience. This is why it is so important to learn which horse riding coat one specifically needs. Being able to enjoy the passion of riding or simply the passion of working around a horse without interruption during so called ‘bad weather’ is an advantage one cannot ignore. Mixed fabrics insulate particularly well against the elements. A good riding coat is also dirt and moisture repellent, so you can keep dry and warm when it rains. Also the breathable factor of a coat is something you might want to have a closer look at while purchasing the best rain horse riding jacket. If you don’t only ride in the outdoors but you are riding indoor as well, the layered look is recommended: for instance a breathable fleece under your riding coat with 3 in 1 I.L.S. system comes in very handy. It will protect you against colder winter days while quickly having the option to remove the fleece again when your body temperature rises because of the effort during the work-out. Not only the horse is working, also the trainer of the horse is!
