Choosing the Right Riding Gloves for Your Child
A good pair of children's riding gloves should feel comfortable, fit securely and allow your child to hold the reins without their hands feeling restricted. Whether they're just starting riding lessons or heading off to their next pony club rally, the right gloves can make riding that little bit more enjoyable.
What Should You Look for in Children's Riding Gloves?
Comfort and fit: Gloves should fit snugly without being too tight. Your child should be able to bend their fingers easily and hold the reins comfortably.
Grip: Look for gloves with grippy palms or reinforced areas to help your child maintain a secure hold on the reins.
Weather: Lightweight, breathable gloves are useful for warmer days, while insulated riding gloves can help keep little hands warm during winter lessons.
Competition wear: For shows and competitions, check whether your child needs a particular colour or style of riding glove.
How Do You Choose the Right Size Riding Gloves?
Children's riding glove sizes can vary between brands, so it's worth checking the manufacturer's size guide before buying. Gloves that are too large can bunch around the fingers, while gloves that are too small may restrict movement.
