Winter riding doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort, movement, or style. With the right layers and thoughtfully designed pieces, you can stay warm in the saddle and at the barn — without feeling restricted. Our Willow winter essentials are built for real riders, real weather, and real barn days.
❄️ Start with Warmth Where It Counts: Winter Breeches
Your legs take the brunt of the cold in winter. Willow Winter Breeches are fleece-lined for insulation but still lightweight and flexible, giving you warmth without bulk. Designed with stretch and grip, they move with you whether you’re schooling, hacking, or getting through long barn days.
Why riders love them:
• Fleece-lined interior for warmth
• Stretch fabric that doesn’t restrict movement
• Secure silicone grip for cold-weather rides
• Sleek enough for everyday wear at the barn
🧣 Layer Smart with Willow Turtlenecks
A good winter ride always starts with the right base layer. Willow turtlenecks are buttery-soft, breathable, and perfect for layering under your sweatshirts or jackets. They trap warmth without overheating and transition effortlessly from barn to everyday wear.
🧥 Add a Cozy Mid-Layer: Willow Sweatshirts
Our sweatshirts are made for real winter — soft, warm, and easy to throw on between rides. Whether you’re teaching, grooming, or running errands after the barn, Willow sweatshirts keep you comfortable without sacrificing style.
🐎 Extra Protection on Cold Days: Quarter Sheets
On truly cold rides, a quarter sheet adds insulation right where you need it most. Over your lap and the horse’s hind end, it blocks wind while warming muscles — ideal for warm-ups, cool-downs, and chilly indoor rings.
🧤 Finish the Look: Winter Hats & Gloves
Cold hands and ears can ruin even the best winter ride. Willow winter hats and gloves keep you warm without bulky layers, so you can still handle reins, buckles, and barn chores with ease.
