Sheila Bruce Talks About Her Passion for Endurance
What Is SERC?
For many years, Just Chaps has supported Scottish Endurance. We are lucky to have connections with The Scottish Endurance Riding Club (SERC) which comprises nine branches spread across Scotland. These branches stretch from the west, east, and south, reaching as far north as Orkney. Scottish Endurance provides an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals while exploring the stunning Scottish countryside. This discipline allows members to travel and participate in rides with their favourite four-legged companions. Ride distances vary, starting from 8 km and extending up to 160 km in a single day, with some events spanning two or three days.
One of the highlights of the year is the Scottish Festival of Endurance, held at a different venue annually. This exciting event guarantees riders an adventure, featuring breathtaking tracks and challenging hills that showcase Scotland’s natural beauty.
Just Chaps Connects with Endurance Riding
The connection between Just Chaps and endurance riding runs deep. The founder of Just Chaps was an endurance rider who passionately supported this equestrian discipline. Over the years, the bond has grown stronger. As the current owner of Just Chaps explains, “Not only did we have a true connection with this sport, but we also dedicated years of product development to perfecting Half Chaps for endurance riders.”
Half Chaps: Perfect for Endurance
The goal was clear—developing a range of Half Chaps tailored specifically for endurance riders. Above all, these Half Chaps needed to prioritize comfort and durability. After months of meticulous product development, the team finally achieved the ideal shape and pattern for their “All Purpose Half Chaps“.
Comfort
Sheila Bruce, a devoted SERC competitor, enthusiastically shares her appreciation for Just Chaps’ continued sponsorship of the Scottish Endurance Championships. Many SERC competitors favour the breathable Summer Cool Chaps, which are particularly suited for endurance riding. Comfort is paramount in this sport, and the Cool Chaps offer an exceptionally comfortable experience. Made from lightweight faux suede, they are soft, flexible, and mould easily to the rider’s leg. It’s no wonder they are a go-to choice for many riders.
