Things We Love: Trail Riding Equipment For Her & For Him
Here at Freerein, we live for long days in the saddle on riding holidays, scenic trails, and that unbeatable feeling of freedom you get out on horseback. But as any seasoned rider knows, the right gear can make or break your ride.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with Saddle Up & Ride, to share a few of our trail riding essentials—tried, tested, and loved by our guides, guests, and horses alike.
Whether you’re heading out on a self-guided trail riding weekend or one of our epic week-long adventures, these are the must-haves we recommend time and again.
For Her: Practical, Tough & Trail-Ready
🥾 Ariat Terrain H2O Boots
A cult favourite for good reason—these boots offer unbeatable support and grip across all terrains. Plus, they’re waterproof and long-lasting, even on our toughest trails.
👖 Woof Wear All Season Waterproof Riding Trousers
Stay dry and comfortable no matter what the weather throws at you. These trousers layer easily over jods and keep the wind and rain out with zero restriction in the saddle.
🧥 Keela Cairn Waterproof Jacket
Lightweight, breathable, and fully waterproof, this jacket has saved many a soggy ride. It packs down small and keeps you dry without overheating on climbs.
For Him: Built for Comfort, Ready for Adventure
🥾 Ariat Men’s Terrain Ease Waterproof Boot
Durable, waterproof and supremely comfortable, these boots are perfect for long days in and out of the saddle. We love the slip-on design—easy to pull on when you’re rushing to catch your horse in the morning!
👖 Baldur Men’s Jodhpurs – Urban Taupe
Smart enough for lunch at the pub, rugged enough for backcountry trails. These jods are stretchy, hardwearing, and quick-drying—a real favourite among our team.
For Everyone: Two More Trail Treats We Can’t Ride Without…
👕 Freerein Equipment Organic Heavy Relaxed T-Shirt – Khaki
A staple in our riding wardrobe, this tee is breathable, soft, and made from 100% organic cotton. Great under layers or worn solo on sunny days.
🐴 HM Seatbone Saver
If you’re spending hours in the saddle, do yourself a favour and invest in one of these. Designed by Heather Moffett, the Seatbone Saver cushions your seat and helps reduce fatigue on multi-day rides. Total game-changer.
