How can you stay warm when riding without the bulk? Do you have to sacrifice warmth for the ability to move?! The good news is that no, you don\u2019t, not if you choose your kit wisely.

By opting for a good thermal base layer as a foundation, you\u2019ll be working to keep your core warm as not only should this layer sit close like a second skin, but it should also wick moisture away, to ensure you don\u2019t feel cold from any sweat you generate during riding or yard activities. Another benefit of a good base layer is that it should be long enough to either tuck in or stay in place around your lower back, to help prevent you getting cold when you\u2019re bending and moving. Even though thermal base layers are highly practical, they can also be stylish and on trend when it comes to the colours they\u2019re available in! They can also be used for other non-equestrian activities too.<\/p><p><strong>Mid layer<\/strong><\/p><p>The next layer is the mid layer, and in the equestrian world we\u2019re likely to opt for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/clothing\/hoodies-fleeces--jumpers\/leisure-clothing\/female\/adult\">jumpers and fleeces<\/a> here. The key is to go lighter in weight, even if that means you wear more than one. This allows you to adjust your clothing as you get warm rather than going from far too hot to far too cold as you remove a thick, cosy jumper. Opt for a thinner mid layer over a base layer. You might also want to consider what this mid layer is made from as some materials have more technical functionality that others, which can work with the base layer to maintain optimum temperature.<\/p><p><strong>Top layer \u2013 protection from the elements<\/strong><\/p><p>Whilst the layers between our skin and coat help to keep us warm first, the top layer should provide a barrier between your clothing and the elements, because staying warm relies on you staying dry! There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/clothing\/jackets-and-coats\/leisure-clothing\/waterproof\/long-coats\/female\/adult\">waterproof riding jackets<\/a> available in a range of different thicknesses, some with padding and luxurious fleece linings, and others with mesh linings that don\u2019t provide any additional warmth. If you\u2019re fully subscribing to the layering with light clothing concept, consider a fill free coat to wear with your layers. The important thing is to make sure it\u2019s waterproof. You might also look at additional features such as taped seams and other design choices to help keep you dry.<\/p><p><strong>Legs<\/strong><\/p><p>It&#8217;s more challenging to layer legs without feeling restricted, but there are options! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/clothing\/legwear\/riding-clothing\/insulated\/breeches\/female\/adult\">Thermal base layers<\/a> can be purchased for legs which can really help, but most people opt for warmer, thermal, lined, or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/clothing\/legwear\/hkm-heated-riding-breeches-ladies-in-black__1636214\">heated breeches<\/a>! This is because, unlike your top half, it\u2019s more difficult to remove layers when you get warm, but also, your legs don\u2019t tend to get as hot! You might also consider waterproof and\/or wind resistant jodhpurs or breeches, or look into over trousers or full chaps to provide you with additional warmth and weather protection in the saddle. Make sure you get something designed for riding though. Waterproof over trousers that aren\u2019t designed for the saddle can sometimes be quite noisy, flappy, and don\u2019t have additional grip on the seat, which can make them a bit challenging in some situations.<\/p><p><strong>Gloves<\/strong><\/p><p>Invest in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/accessories\/gloves-and-mitts\/riding-accessories\/female\/adult\">gloves<\/a> for yard work and for riding, and if you suffer with cold hands opt for riding gloves designed for winter weather. In addition to having features you\u2019d expect, like extra grip where you hold the reins, gloves designed for riding in the winter weather will be a combination of waterproof, windproof, thermal\u2026 some are even heated! Think about the kind of riding you\u2019re doing too. You might be OK having something a bit bulkier for hacking as you\u2019re out for a longer time and want to stay warm, but want something with a slimmer profile for schooling so you can maintain feel with the horse at all times.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_4692\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4692\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/accessories\/gloves-mitts\/aubrion-patterson-winter-gloves-in-black__1618237\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4692\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/Aubrion-Patterson-Winter-Gloves-from-RB-Equestrian-4.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4692\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aubrion Patterson Winter Gloves<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>If you want your riding gloves to stay in the best condition, get a different pair for the yard.<\/p><p><strong>Socks and boots<\/strong><\/p><p style=\"font-size: 19px;font-family: ff-more-web-pro, 'PT Serif', Georgia, serif\">Cosy socks and slim riding boots might not seem like a match made in heaven, but if you know what you\u2019re looking for, you can find socks that fit inside the most fitted boots that also help to keep yo<span style=\"font-size: 19px\">ur feet warm.<\/span><\/p><figure id=\"attachment_4648\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4648\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbequestrian.co.uk\/lemieux\/socks-and-welly-warmers\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4648\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/LeMieux-Socks-for-Adults-from-RB-Equestrian-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"A woman putting on a pair of LeMieux long socks\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/LeMieux-Socks-for-Adults-from-RB-Equestrian-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/LeMieux-Socks-for-Adults-from-RB-Equestrian-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/LeMieux-Socks-for-Adults-from-RB-Equestrian-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/rbe\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2026\/02\/LeMieux-Socks-for-Adults-from-RB-Equestrian.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4648\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">LeMieux Socks<\/figcaption><\/figure><p style=\"font-size: 19px;font-family: ff-more-web-pro, 'PT Serif', Georgia, serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 19px\">Some riding socks are designed to have a more padded foot and thinner fabric up the leg, whereas some are designed to help maintain heat during wear.
