Outstanding Riding Clothes From Pikeur

By Gwen Lowe


The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

The company is from Germany and has a long and successful tradition in the riding apparel business. They initially came to the notice of riders because of their beautifully designed dressage coats. Dressage is the most elegant of horse sports and requires many hours of training. Horse and rider work as a team and really have to have outstanding communications. Marks are also awarded for turn out and in a close competition only a few points may separate the winners from the losers. Every rider tries to get the advantage and having the very best clothes is all part of the picture.

The original piece of clothing that really made the brand famous was the dressage coat. Known as a Shadbelly this special coat is worn by all high ranking dressage riders in competition. It has a distinctive cut and long tails. Getting the style and fit just right is really difficult and once equestrians found the newly designed version they knew they were on to a winner.

The long tails are weighted to prevent them moving around. This can be a distraction to the horse or rider and may result in a loss of points. The special blend of materials has created a coat with just enough movement to make the rider comfortable. Yet the coat still maintains its classic look. Models are available to fit both men and women.

Most of the products are still made in Germany by highly skilled craftspeople. Yet buyers in the United States and all over the world are still able to order on line. The ordering process is very easy and a conversion features show the price in the local currency. Sizing in Europe is quite different to North American sizing and can be confusing. Any questions can be directed to the highly efficient customer service department who are only too happy to help.
