LeMieux Young Rider AW2026


Frequently Asked Questions

What should a child wear for riding lessons?

A child should wear fitted, comfortable layers that allow free movement, plus riding hat, boots with a small heel and legwear without thick inside seams. A baselayer, hoodie or quarter zip and riding leggings work well. LeMieux Young Rider offers all of these in sizes from 7-8 to 13-14 Years.

Does my child need a baselayer for winter riding?

A baselayer is recommended for winter riding because it sits next to the skin and keeps your child comfortable as they warm up and cool down. It also makes layering easier, as a hoodie or gilet can go over the top. LeMieux Young Rider includes Classique and Mia baselayers in several colours.

Are children's riding leggings better than normal leggings?

Yes, children's riding leggings are usually better for lessons because they are designed to sit comfortably in the saddle and boots. Look for a smooth fit with no bulky inside seams. LeMieux Young Rider offers the Nell brushed pull on riding leggings and Orla pull ons for lessons and yard days.

What size LeMieux Young Rider should I buy?

Choose the size that matches your child's age range and check the product page for measurements, as children vary in height. LeMieux Young Rider comes in 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 Years. If your child is between sizes, sizing up gives room to layer a baselayer underneath.

What are good gift ideas for horse-mad children?

A LeMieux Young Rider hoodie, baselayer or fleece is a popular gift for children who love riding because they can wear it at the yard and school. For younger children, LeMieux Toy Riders make a good addition. Our team can help you choose a size if you are buying for someone else.
