A Winter outfit from Mountain Horse

Mountain Horse

Becky tells us about the top picks from Mountain Horse

It's that time again, where people forget how cold the first few months of the year can be! The perfect time to update your winter wardrobe with our favourite essentials from Mountain Horse. For their winter 2021 collection, Mountain Horse has not only thought about optimal warmth for us riders, but also style and elegance.

 

The Pepper Family

New for AW21, Mountain Horse introduces the Pepper Family. Personally, my favourite from the latest collection! The Pepper comes as a coat, or a vest, in black or grey.

The jacket has a contemporary look but surpluses of traditional elements for all-day riding comfort, such as a two-way front zip. In addition, riding slits with invisible zippers at the bottom-back edge - creating that ultimate comfort and fit when in the saddle.  It has two front pockets, each with zipper closures, as well as an inner pocket also with a zip. We all know, you can never have too many zips! It features a detachable and adjustable hood with a soft-to-touch faux fur edge, the perfect way to modify the jacket from riding to lifestyle. The inside collar is lined with soft fleece - feeling cosy on your skin at all times.  Lastly, the finishing touches - soft inner cuff at the sleeve bottom and the subtle, yet stylish branding on the sleeve.

The Pepper collection is insulated, water repellent, and windproof. Featuring a woven outer fabric with non-fluorinated solution water repellent treatment- another one on our list for sustainability story. They're lined with a soft, special Sorona padding - making this one of the warmest jackets I have ever tried!

In regards to sizing; I would say the Pepper comes up true to size, however, if you want to layer with Sweaters or hoodies, it might be best to go on size up. I'm rather short, being 5'2, and can struggle with the torso length when it comes to coats. However, due to the double zip and riding zips at the back, this fits perfectly, especially when riding!

Wouldn't you agree, it looks fabulous on!

  

                

      

 

Layering with the Tindra Collection

We cannot stress enough, the importance of layering when the temperatures start to drop! The Tindra collection is perfect for this. Made up of a base layer and legging, these make the perfect addition to your wardrobe - for riding and leisure.

Let's start with the leggings. They are pull-on legwear made from moisture-wicking, quick-drying fabric for all-day comfort. You have a choice of either grey or navy ombre melange - technical, yet stylish. They feature a seamless inner leg, adding to the rider's comfort when layering under breeches or tights. The Mountain Horse logo is presented along the outer leg, which I think, looks super smart.

The Tindra top, is a 4-way stretch material with quick-dry technology - again, optimal comfort for the rider. They look perfect when worn with the leggings as the ombre melange pattern blends. This base layer features a 1/3 front zipper with the Mountain Horse logo along the left sleeve - a simple design that looks fantastic when worn! Like the leggings, the base layer is also seamless, which feels generous when worn, and super comfortable when layering.

If you're looking to wear these as loungewear, I'd say go to your true clothing size. However, if you're thinking of using these as baselayers, I believe it would be best to go down one size.

One of my Favourites - Diana Breeches

Last year, Mountain Horse introduced a new, high-waist, full seat breech to the market - with an excellent price point of £85! The Diana's are available in Navy, Taupe or White.

They're made with a high-quality breathable fabric that easily transports moisture and is resilient to dirt and liquid - A quick rub, and the surface of the breeches are clean! As mentioned, they're a high-waist fit with belt loops, hook closure and front zipper. The waistband is elasticated which feels pleasing and super comfortable when doing yard duties or riding. The seat is a full silicone seat - I'm quite fussy when it comes to silicone (I hate the feeling of being stuck to my saddle!). However, this silicone and silicone pattern retains the perfect amount of secure grip and give when riding. The Diana's also feature a flexible double folded cuff and the bottom of the leg - laying perfectly under your boots. They have two functional front pockets with zips, which I can confirm fit an iPhone XR! Along with the subtle branding beneath the front zipper, these breeches create the ultimate professional look.

I can confirm these breeches are true to size! (I can also say the White are not see-through).
