We are super excited to be launching our very own brand of riding gloves this winter! We are all keen horse riders here and know how important the right pair of gloves for horse riding is, whether you’re out hacking, schooling or competing. From thin second-skin riding gloves to thicker insulated designs, touch-screen compatible gloves to mesh designs for summer riding, there are lots of different riding gloves on the market. We have designed every aspect of these for how great they feel to ride in – for their comfort, grip against the reins, durability, and sophisticated look, with each design coming in at a great price point.
Houghton Country Classic Grip Glove
These gloves are expected to be our best-sellers. They offer a close contact feel between your hands and the reins, allowing the rider to maintain feel and response through the rein and give the subtlest aids. The material is grippy against leather, even in the rain, meaning less chance of slippery, lost reins or your reins becoming gradually longer. They are touch-screen compatible, saving you taking your gloves off when you need your phone. Many riders complain they find it difficult to do anything in gloves, with gloves feeling cumbersome as you try to do the buckles on a bridle or button up your show jacket. These gloves are thin and allow you to complete the fiddliest of tasks while wearing them. They are suitable for competing and come in black, brown, caramel, navy and white. White is still chosen by dressage riders, although other conservative colours are now permitted, while caramel and brown are chosen for showing. Black, navy and brown would look smart in other disciplines, or are practical colours for use at home where they are bound to get dirty!
Retailing at £19.95 with sizes from XS to XL, these gloves are a reasonably priced alternative to more premium riding gloves, offering the same close-contact feel.
Houghton Country Classic Mesh Grip Glove
Featuring the same close contact feel, superior grip and touch-screen index finger and thumb as the Classic Grip Glove, the upper of these gloves is made of mesh, enhancing breathability on hotter days. These gloves are ideal as your everyday summer riding glove or are equally smart for competing, coming in a choice of black or white.
They are available at £16.95 per pair, in sizes XS to XL, which is the equivalent of a 6.5 to 8.5. Check the Size Guide on the product page for more information on sizing.
Houghton Country Classic Young Rider Glove
These riding gloves are sure to help tiny hands keep a secure hold of the reins and protect them from blisters and the cold. Their synthetic grip palm offers grip against leather even when it’s wet, and the four-way stretch spandex mix material offers a comfortable fit on every hand, and means your child won’t outgrow them too quickly. These gloves are available in black and brown, or with a fun horseshoe print in black, bright blue or pink. Like the adults’ version, they are touch-screen compatible for use with a phone and have a touch-close/velcro fastening at the wrist.
At only £9.95 for a pair, these gloves are easy on your pocket as well as sure to be loved by your mini horse rider.
A pair of these gloves would make the perfect equestrian stocking filler or gift for the livery yard Secret Santa! Whether saved for competition days or a part of your everyday riding wear, we hope these gloves are sure to be loved and used by riders of all ages across all discipline
