FAQs
Are these breeches suitable for formal shows?
These are primarily designed for schooling and everyday use. Check your specific competition rulebook, as formal events often require specific colors like white or canary.
Do these have a high or mid-rise waist?
The SaddleHugger design features a standard, comfortable rise intended to sit securely at the waist for a consistent fit.
Can I wear these with tall boots?
Yes, the leg cuffs are designed to be slim and smooth, making them ideal for wearing under tall boots or half-chaps.
How do I choose the right size?
The breeches are measured by standard UK waist sizes. It is recommended to measure your natural waist to ensure the best fit.
Are the knee patches leather or fabric?
These feature self-fabric knee patches, which offer durability while remaining easy to machine wash.
Troubleshooting
Fabric losing shape after extensive use
Ensure you are washing in cold water and avoiding high-heat tumble drying, which can break down the elastane fibers.
Zip pocket sticking
Check the track for debris or horse hair; clean with a soft brush and ensure no fabric is caught in the teeth.
Stubborn stains on the beige fabric
Pre-treat stained areas with a gentle fabric stain remover before the standard wash cycle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Shires SaddleHugger Breeches, follow these guidelines for maintenance and wear. Always verify your specific waist measurement, as these are tailored to a specific fit. When washing, turn the breeches inside out to protect the outer surface and the zip mechanism. Use a mild detergent and wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Avoid using strong bleaching agents, especially given the light beige color, which can be prone to staining. For drying, air drying away from direct heat sources is recommended to maintain the integrity of the stretch fabric and prevent the knee patches from becoming stiff or worn prematurely.
