They are impossible to get into if you are not built like a pole dancer At 72 my hips are definitely not a pole dancers and I cannot do them up they are the most impossible chaps I have ever had I do get into them if I spend 15 minutes struggling and puffing and I thought that I would be fine once I’d worked it out but I’m not they look ever so elegant once they’re done up but they are impossible without a mummy to do them up for you! Really the worst pair of chaps I have ever bought anywhere. But I’m giving them to a 15-year-old who is a great deal more flexible than I am and she will probably be very happy Serves me right for buying them online when you can’t try them and then for battling with them for a few rides so I couldn’t send them back That was because they are quite comfortable when you do finally do them up and I thought I’d get the knack Crazy design!

FAQ
All your questions, answered.
The thermoneutral zone is the temperature range where the body can maintain its core temperature with little to no extra energy expenditure. For humans, this range is quite narrow at 21–28 °C, but for horses it’s much broader at 5–25 °C.
This difference means we should avoid rugging horses based on how cold we feel. Over-rugging can lead to serious health issues, including metabolic problems and thermoregulatory dysfunction.
Tips for Choosing a Winter Rug Weight
-
Clipped horses may need a heavier gram fill to stay comfortable.
-
Remember: horses warm themselves more easily than they cool down under a rug. If unsure, choose a lighter rug.
-
Check your horse regularly to make sure they are neither too hot nor too cold.
-
Consider your horse’s age and natural ability to stay warm.
-
As a general guide, rugging is usually appropriate when temperatures drop below 5–10 °C, but always adjust for your horse’s individual needs.
-
Always ensure rugs are waterproof. A wet rug is worse than no rug at all.
This is an indicative guide only. Always take into account factors such as wind chill, your horse’s age, weight, and condition.
