As equestrians gear up (literally) for winter, we take a look at a selection of winter horse riding jackets suitable for wearing down the yard or when riding this winter.
The below jackets are all suitable for various duties at the stables, field or riding. They’ll keep the wearer warm and dry while allowing for flexibility in the saddle.
Aubrion All Weather Robe
Warm and cosy, this Aubrion All Weather Robe is a full length fleece lined jacket suitable for those cold and rainy days down the yard or in the saddle.
The waterproof outer sees water beads roll off while the wearer stays dry. Other features include a two way zip, adjustable cuffs, two zip pockets and a zip to the back.
Available in red or black, sizes S – L.
Royal Scot Neve Aquarobe
A full length, waterproof, fleece lined riding jacket, with hood big enough to fit over a riding hat. Other key features include leg straps to stop the material from coming away from the leg area when in the saddle.
Available in red or black, sizes S – L
HKM Dublin Seattle Waterproof Riding Jacket
Waterproof, windproof, breathable, storm zip cover, large hood, adjustable cuffs, two way zip and perfect for in the saddle! This HKM jacket is a great all-rounder (packed with lots of features) suitable for all horse riding and yard duties this winter.
The jacket’s concealed panels open up to help keep not only the legs dry when riding, but parts of the horse’s back too. It’s even got reflective strips around the long skirt edging to help keep the rider and horse visible! We love it.
Available in navy or black (pictured here), sizes XS – XXXL

The full-length jacket is fitted with a two-way zip and quilted sides from the LeMieux Loire range. Subtle LeMieux detailing, with a Luxury Faux Fur detachable trim and detachable hood.

A new to the market full length jacket from Holland Cooper offering the wearer versatility and comfort.

One size only.

Coldstream Southdean Quilted Jacket
A stylish and versatile padded winter riding jacket offering protection from the elements. Breathable and water-repellent, with a high neck and hood. Quilted panels also help retain heat with the excellent insulation properties of the faux duck feather down. Two-way zipped pockets to the front.
This short, lighter-weight jacket is especially suited to riding due to its insulation properties and shorter fit.
WeatherBeeta Reflective Lightweight
A hi-viz jacket with reflective strips for enhanced visibility. Waterproof, yet lightweight, the jacket also features a two-way zip for adjustability in the saddle. Adjustable cuffs and a storm guard zip cover.
Available to purchase on Naylors online.
And for when out of the saddle …
