Ride in Roeckl! Lets face it, when it comes to riding equipment the vast majority of us always wear a riding hat and boots to ensure that we stay safe in the saddle. But gloves… Some love them, some hate them. The fact is though, there’s lots of reasons that they should form an essential part of your equestrian wardrobe!
Why wear riding gloves?
Warmth - No one likes freezing fingers! During the Winter months riding in cold weather is inevitable. There are two really important reasons that keeping your hands toasty is important. Firstly, it's neither comfortable nor fun being too cold to concentrate. But more importantly, for your horse. If your hands are numb (we've all been there) the accuracy of your aids is reduced. Our horses mouths are very sensitive to our rein aids, so we all want to keep them as subtle and precise as we can!
Grip - At some point we've all been shouted at for having 'washing lines'! Without gloves, it's easy to loose your grip on the reins. While none of us like to be overly reliant on our reins, they are an essential part of communicating with our horses. Having a good grip means that we are able to maintain a consistent contact and provide concise aids without fiddling with our horses mouth.
Protection - Have you made the mistake of leading or riding without gloves and ended up very sorry? All it takes is an unexpected spook or bolt and we're left with friction burns and painful blisters! Providing protection, gloves act as an extra defence against injury.
