The perfect look for winter trotting 🏋🏼

The days are getting shorter… and arena sessions plunged into darkness by 6:00–6:30 PM quickly become the norm. So when the weekend finally arrives, there's only one desire: get some fresh air, clear your head, and share a real moment with your horse.

Winter trotting is the perfect ally for keeping both spirits and fitness up, without the pressure of technical schooling. A true "healthy mind in a healthy body", rider's edition 🙈🤩

To make the most of these outdoor rides, being well equipped makes all the difference: your horse's comfort, protection, effort management… every detail matters.

Ready to discover the perfect combo for trotting this winter?

Effectively protecting limbs on outdoor rides 💪

Trotting rides come with their share of surprises: uneven ground, unexpected reactions, stimulating surroundings… even the calmest horse can lose its footing.

Closed boots offer optimal protection while remaining breathable. The goal isn't to over-protect, but to keep rides safe and avoid small mishaps.

A comfortable saddle pad that stays in place 🤩

The Back On Track 3D Mesh Airflow black saddle pad combines stability, breathability and comfort. Its cut prevents pressure points and girth pinching, making it ideal for longer outdoor sessions. The mesh panel helps your horse dissipate heat and sweat during effort.

For longer rides, opt for a trail riding saddle pad: with its side pockets, you can carry everything you need to handle any unexpected situation.

Keeping the back warm despite the cold 🔥

When temperatures drop, an waterproof quarter sheet is a reliable choice. Ideal for protecting your horse's back from the cold and moisture, it stays effective even in the rain — because you can never fully predict the weather. The Performance 600D model also helps your horse regulate its temperature between effort and recovery.

During hunting season, choosing a high-visibility quarter sheet is just as important. A bright colour improves safety on outdoor rides, while still providing the necessary comfort and thermal protection. 

Our must-haves? The Norton Fluorescent Yellow Quarter Sheet 0g — perfect for being seen from afar — and the Kentucky Horsewear Grey Reflective Quarter Sheet 160g for rides that stretch into dusk!

Staying free to move in the rain ✨

A lightweight rain jacket keeps you protected without restricting your movement. Perfect for trotting comfortably even when the weather turns unpredictable. 

The 3 transparent rain jacket styles:

• Kingsland - Classic Transparent Waterproof Rain Jacket
• Flags & Cup - Norwich Rain Jacket
• Equithème - Saigon Transparent Waterproof Jacket

Winter trotting: performance, pleasure and connection

Well equipped, a winter trotting ride becomes a truly meaningful session — building fitness, stimulating the mind… and savoring those shared moments in the fresh air 🥰
