Outstanding Riding Clothes From Pikeur

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.

The long tails are weighted to prevent them moving around. This can be a distraction to the horse or rider and may result in a loss of points. The special blend of materials has created a coat with just enough movement to make the rider comfortable. Yet the coat still maintains its classic look. Models are available to fit both men and women.

Most of the products are still made in Germany by highly skilled craftspeople. Yet buyers in the United States and all over the world are still able to order on line. The ordering process is very easy and a conversion features show the price in the local currency. Sizing in Europe is quite different to North American sizing and can be confusing. Any questions can be directed to the highly efficient customer service department who are only too happy to help.

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.

Helmets are one of the most important pieces of equipment. They should fit well and be comfortable. The company has realized that by providing both safety and style they have appealed to riders of all ages. Their helmets are loaded with extra features such as a four point harness and effective ventilation system.
