First Time Riders and Chaps

A lot of riders start out with the horse’s equipment and forget about their selves. There are many places your horse goes, whether it’s trail, show, lake, or even around the pasture. These places could have rough spots where it could scrap your legs while riding. The only way to help protect your legs while riding is chaps. There are different type of chaps for different kinds of riding such as: Adult Western Show, Children's  Chap & Vest Sets, Chink Chaps, farrier's apron, Half Chaps, Rodeo Chaps, Schooling Chaps, Work Chaps, and  Motorcycle Chaps.

Why do people choose leggings/half chaps over tall chaps for everyday riding? The answer is simple they prevent rubs and chaffing from the stirrup leathers and help provide extra grip on the saddle. These are great for schooling. Schooling chaps are not meant for the show. They are easier to put on than the taller chaps and do not ride up on the saddle.

Chinks are a style of chaps that are made slightly below the knee with hand cut fringe. These are usually for people in warm climates or for those who need upper leg protection. Also, able to move around in them leaving your lower leg free, allowing your legs to easily bend and kneel.

Farrier's apron. Our Farrier Apron is designed to protect your clothes from the hoof trimming and shoeing. This apron provides great coverage for your lower body and legs.  Some of the features are heavy chrome tanned leather with leg adjustments, heavy duty adjustable waist belt, double leather on thighs, and front pocket.

The chaps I recommend for first time riders are our western adult and child chaps. They are nice quality cowhide and come in different leathers and colors. Want to add a little flare? We can customize your chap with metallic trim. Our metallic colors are: gold, purple, red, royal blue, and silver. These are great for show and trail riding.
