Top Of The Line Pikeur Riding Apparel

By Gwen Lowe


The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

The company is from Germany and has a long and successful tradition in the riding apparel business. They initially came to the notice of riders because of their beautifully designed dressage coats. Dressage is the most elegant of horse sports and requires many hours of training. Horse and rider work as a team and really have to have outstanding communications. Marks are also awarded for turn out and in a close competition only a few points may separate the winners from the losers. Every rider tries to get the advantage and having the very best clothes is all part of the picture.

The Shadbelly dressage coat is an essential item for high level dressage competitions. It is a very distinctive coat, that helps to complete the look of elegance the sport is famous for. A dressage coat must be of the very highest quality and carefully crafted to meet the exact needs of the rider.

Shadbelly coats are available for both men and women. They are beautifully crafted from a combination of materials. Most of the coats today are over half polyester, blended with pure wool and a small percentage of elastane. This helps to give the coat just enough give to make the rider comfortable yet still maintain its classic look. The weighted tails help to keep them in place and not distract either horse or rider.

Riding is a sport that does come with some risks. With this in mind safety should always be a top priority. The very latest technology has been incorporated into the helmet designs. Models are available for both adults and children that meet or exceed European safety standards. Not only are the helmets very safe but they are also comfortable to wear and loaded with additional features that riders love.

Show jackets are among the best selling products in the line. The Tosca show jacket is one of the newest additions to the line. The stretch jersey fabric is very comfortable to wear and provides all the movement needed even by jump riders. The contrasting piping and decorative trim make it very popular with younger riders looking for something a little more stylish and updated.

Show jackets are another staple of the company. Many people love the value for money Epsom jacket. It sports two rear vents that make it comfortable, plus two front pockets. It is also washable which really adds to its practicality. Horse shows go on whatever the weather and riders can end up very muddy. There is also an optional velvet collar feature available on the black jacket.

Other accessories include beautifully cut show shirts. These are available in both long and short sleeve options. Belts can add a nice finishing touch to any show or stable outfit. Many people love the caps to wear around the barn. They are sporty, fun and come in a nice choice of colors.
