Could anyone recommend some riding tights to fit an average height but skinny 10 year old girl? Or possibly jodhpurs. Preferably black and not too expensive! Thank you 😊

Decathlon do good riding gear for kids at very reasonable prices so if she’s just riding once a week or so at a riding school that would be perfect. Other not too expensive brands are Shires and Harry Hall both of which do lots of children's stuff. If she’s a bit more fashion conscious and is likely to be affected by peer pressure the Le Mieux and Aztec Diamond Equestrian both do junior/mini ranges but they’re on the pricier end of the spectrum

GS equestrian are good for riding tights, think you get a ten percent off first order sometimes too. I get ladies size six for my skinny 14 year old as I need the length but kids sizes probably ok. I think they had quite detailed size charts so you can see. I think the others I got were from Derby house.

GS own brand ones are the ones I go for, about £20.

Aldi ones have been good too, only available sometimes though.

I have a pair I can post to you-dd just grown out of them and worn them about twice. She was a very slender ten year old.

Mine is 11 and v thin, Decathlon has been good for us, there are button elastics in the waist. (She's wearing the 10-12 size now so they're loose around the leg but not so much to be bunchy.)

Thanks for the recommendations lovely people, plenty to go on there!
It's DD's 10th birthday next week and I did order her some only to discover when they arrived that they're breeches, so (?) no good with jodhpur boots.

@Haggisfish3 What a fabulously kind offer, I'll PM you!

DD is average height and skinny. The best fitting ones we’ve found are Le Mieux. Her age 9-10 ones are starting to look a little short but the waist still fits lovely so I’ve bought her some Le Mieux long socks to cover the gap!

Blackhearts and Le Mieux are my daughter's favourites

Dd12 is v skinny. The cameo ones fit her well. For breeches we just use long socks over the top if riding with jod boots.
