Children’s equestrian gloves come in a huge variety, different sizes, colors and fabrics. We use riding gloves for protection from the reins and warmth in the colder months. Leather gloves have always been the standard for a proper horseback riding glove

Gloves are sized by measuring your hand around the knuckles.  The inch measurement translates to the glove size. Children can wear in leadline as small as 3” and older children can wear up to a 6”.  Most women riders wear a glove between 6” – 8 ½”. The fingers are shorter in the overlapping sizes between children and ladies. Many gloves have Lycra between the fingers and some even offer stretch material at the knuckles for comfort. These gloves are sometimes sized XXS – XXL.

Ribbed stretch cotton, cotton with pimple grips, leather-Lyca combination, neoprene, all leather, mesh back, crochet back, tackified and washable synthetic are just a few kinds of materials that horseback riding gloves are offered in. Each rider has his or her own preference.  I school in stretchy, durable, and comfortable easy to wash SSG riding gloves.

Winter gloves are a must for every child horseback rider. Many of the kids gloves are lined with Thinsulate for warmth.  Other gloves are called magic stretch, are wool like acrylic with a pimple grip palm.  We also offer a thin version of a ski glove with reinforced fingers and a fill for warmth. These gloves are not expensive and very warm. What ever you choose there are gloves for every rider available.
