Equetech Bespoke Riding Jackets

I have never been able to find a jacket that fitted and made me feel good about competing. The arms have always been too long, the shoulders too box like and the extra length putting the waist in the wrong place until NOW when Equetech made me a Jacket I could feel really proud of. For the first time I had  sleeves that allowed me to see my hands in front of me and to hold the reins without getting caught up in material...

I'll admit to being unsure when it came to the design options- what colour fabric to choose, how many buttons, what type of trim but Liz Hayman talked me through the process, measured me without any fuss and it was not long at all before my Stirling Jacket was ready to wear !

I am wearing the Stirling Jacket in my profile picture at the top of this BLOG.

The Solitaire Training Waistcoat Designed by Equetech

I wanted a gilet that I could wear at competitions whilst warming up that would also keep my shirt clean whilst getting horses ready. I also wanted a smart and comfortable waistcoat to wear to training clinics and Solitaire events. This waistcoat ticks all the boxes and I love seeing Solitaire riders wearing them too!

Introducing my favourite riding clothes.

I work full time with horses teaching, coaching and riding and I also work for Equetech as their Marketing & PR Manager. It will come as no surprise then that I like to talk about these clothes but I also LOVE wearing them and since staring to work for the company I have been creating my own wardrobe full of Equetech clothes because quite simply when I wear something from the Equetech range I can concentrate on my time with the horses rather than worry about my clothes!



When I am working with horses I like to be comfortable and protected from the weather. At this training session I am wearing an Equetech Technique Blouson which has been customised with my logo and as I had just been riding I have on my most favourite pair of breeches the Equetech Full seat breeches.
