FAQs
Are these tights suitable for horse shows?
Yes, the subtle branding makes them appropriate for most competition environments, though always check your specific discipline's dress code.
Can I put my phone in the thigh pocket safely?
The pockets are designed to be deep and secure, but ensure the phone is placed fully inside so it does not slip out during vigorous movement.
How do I choose the right size for my child?
Refer to the available child UK sizing options (e.g., 5-6, 7-8, 9-10) based on your child's typical clothing fit. The fabric is quite stretchy, allowing for a forgiving fit.
Do these tights require a belt?
No, the deep anti-roll waistband is designed to hold the tights securely in place without the need for a belt.
Are they machine washable?
Yes, they are machine washable. Just be sure to turn them inside out and wash on a cool, gentle cycle.
Troubleshooting
Silicone grip starting to peel or lose effectiveness
This is often caused by high-heat washing or excessive use of fabric softener. Switch to a cold, gentle cycle and avoid all softeners.
Waistband sliding down during riding
Ensure you are using the correct size; if the tights are too loose, the waistband will not provide the necessary compression to stay in place.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your John Whitaker Clitheroe Riding Tights, always follow the care instructions provided. Turn the tights inside out before washing to protect the silicone seat pattern. It is highly recommended to wash them on a cool, gentle cycle with mild detergent and to avoid the use of fabric softeners, as these can compromise the elasticity of the fabric and the grip of the silicone. Avoid tumble drying; instead, hang them to dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking of the print. These tights are designed to be compatible with standard youth-sized riding gear and boots.
