What Riding Kit Does a Child Need for Pony Club Camp?

Heading off to pony club camp is an exciting experience for young riders. Along with the usual riding clothes and safety equipment, comfortable half chaps and reliable waterproofs can help keep children protected, clean and dry.

In this guide, we look at the different Just Chaps options available and what to consider when choosing Pony Club camp riding kit for your child.

Choosing Half Chaps for Pony Club Camp

Half chaps help protect the lower leg from rubbing and pinching caused by the stirrup leathers. They should fit closely and comfortably without twisting around the leg. Just Chaps offers several options for young riders:

Our Saltos Leather Half Chaps are made from soft leather and shaped to fit closely around the leg. They are a comfortable, smart choice for both everyday riding and competitions.

For riders who prefer the more traditional appearance of long riding boots, Saltos Leather Riding Gaiters are a smart option for competitions and Pony Club activities. You can find out more about both Saltos leather styles here.

Our All Purpose Half Chaps are an easy-care, washable option made from stretchy neoprene. They are available in children’s sizes from Age 2 to Child Tall.

Choosing Waterproofs for Pony Club Camp

Pony Club camp continues whatever the British weather brings, so dependable waterproofs are an important part of a child’s riding kit. Our Dri-Rider children’s range includes waterproof riding trousers, full chaps and fleece-lined full chaps, with options for both younger children and teenagers.

For more advice, read our Complete Guide to Waterproof Riding Wear and our guide to choosing waterproofs for children.

Ready for Pony Club Camp

Comfortable half chaps and practical waterproofs can make a real difference during a busy week at Pony Club camp. Check the fit before camp begins and make sure children can put on and remove their half chaps and waterproofs without assistance.
