Quote of the month: “There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man.” - Winston Churchill
Breeches are one of the most important parts of any riders’ wardrobe, but sometimes they can be hard to find, even with so many choices on the market. They need to be comfortable to ride and train in, pleasing to look at, and tough enough to hold up to daily use. Team rider Jan Weaver understands these needs, and has helped create a three part list of what she looks for in breeches for daily and show use. The first thing Jan looks for in a breech is fit. They should be snug enough to prevent rubs and give a clean line, but not too tight or they can feel constricting. When looking at full seat breeches, make sure you can move in them and that you’re not impeded by the heavier seat material. The second thing you want to keep in mind when looking at a breech is style. Jan recommends keeping some more subdued breech colors in your closet, so you can pair them with a bold top or keep your look classic. Jan also likes to keep a few pairs of bold, statement breeches in her closet, for days when she wants a big pop of color. Her current goto bold breech is the Grand Prix Extend in red, with black piping. “I get so many compliments on these!” She says. “They’re bright and fun, but they also maintain the quality and comfort we’ve all come to associate with Horze breeches.” The third thing you want to look for in a breech is durability. Jan keeps a busy schedule with riding, showing, and working around the farm, so it’s important to her that her breeches can keep up. When looking for breeches, Jan looks at the fabric and stitching. “I want to see a good weight in the fabric,” Jan says. “Not thick to the point where you feel too hot and have your movement restricted, but also not thin to the point that you feel overly exposed or unprotected from the elements.” Another key point is the stitching. “You don’t want to see uneven, or badly done stitching,” Jan explains. “The stitches should be evenly spaced and the thread should look a bit thick and durable.” She also makes sure to look at the seams. Seams should look clean and neat, not large and clunky, which can cause rubs. Keeping fit, style, and durability in mind is what first led Jan to try Horze products. “I’d heard so many good things about the brand and was thrilled when they expanded to the US so I could finally try them!” she says. “I fell in love with the brand right away, especially after I tried on their breeches. They have all the things I look for; a good fit, well styled, and tough enough to hold up to my rigorous schedule. You really can’t go wrong with Horze breeches.”
