We've all seen the latest riding clothing hype of riding leggings and tights and I've also seen many others say they're just expensive gym or running leggings which I guess they essentially are. So far I've not splashed out and bought a pair and have only tried the running leggings on sale in Tesco, but I've decided to do a post on some I'd like to try out.

First up is the latest edition of the very first pair I ever seen available. These are the Black Technical Stretch Leggings from Aztec Diamond. They are available in the sizes xs - xl and retail at £35.00. These look super comfortable and I've always wanted to try these out since I first seen them.

Next up is the Horze womens knee patch active tights by Horze. These are available in Navy, Light brown and black. These retail at £26.99. I'm actually really interested in these are they are the first pair of leggings or tights that I've seen that only have the knee patches, all the others I've seen have a full seat. Think I might have to try these out next payday, as it's great with Horze having free postage too. 

The next ones are the Dublin Performance Cool It Riding Tights by Dublin. These come in a variety of colours and the Cool it tights are the summer edition of these tights, they also have a winter edition which are the Warm it tights. The Cool it tights retail at £39.49. the main attraction for these tights are that they are full seat but will gel rather than the usual suede feel. The gel still allows you the freedom that you will get with the tights. The only thing with these that I'm hesitant about is the gel, which is great but when you also have a gel seat saver I don't know if it's going to be too much gel. 

Last up are the Pro Riding Tights With Pocket by Derby House. I've never tried any of Derby House's own brand clothing before and I've read and heard mixed reviews on them. But these riding tights are something I'd like to try possibly when/if they come on sale/promotion in the future to see how they are. They retail at £39.99

Have you tried any of these featured Leggings or Tights? If so what's you opinions on them? Are they worth buying or not?

My Rug Buying Obsession.

My name is Pheobe and I have a rug buying obsession. I hate to admit it buy it's something I just can't stop buying and if I manage to not buy I spend a lot of time searching and finding the best deals. Although I love to build Legacy's rug collection, I always make sure I buy them in the sales. Save money where I can ;) 

Her current collection of turnouts include;

Weatherbeeta Genero No Fill Standard Neck.

Gallop 100g Standard Neck.

Derby House 200g Standard Neck.

Weatherbeeta Genero 220g Combo Neck.

Shires Tempest 300g Combo Neck.

360g Genero Combo Neck.

Now that's her main collection with her having a 360g Detachable neck rug as a spare.

When the weights of the rugs get heavier I like to make sure she has a spare or more than one around that weight just in case anything happens. She's very good at keeping her rugs in good condition minus the mud and most of her rugs are 1200D, but I like to be on the safe side to prevent her having to stay in her stable if anything ever happened to her rug. 

She also has many of stable rugs;

2x 100g Standard Neck.

220g Standard Neck.

2x 300g Standard Neck.

360g Standard Neck. 

All her stable rugs are Weatherbeeta apart from her 300g's which are Gallop & Harrison Howard.

After that she also has a standard neck fleece, a scrim cooler, fly rug, ride on fleece exercise rug and a hi-viz net ride on sheet.

At the moment I am searching for a new 100g standard neck for her, eyeing up the new Weatherbeeta Genero 100g rug, A waterproof fly rug, looking at the premier equine one, a waterproof ride on exercise rug to encourage myself to ride in the rain and another medium weight/220g/200g standard neck stable, and I'm possibly looking at a cooler sheet depending on how warm of a spring/summer we get this year.

The searching for these rugs is keeping me satisfied for now, although the 300g combo and 200g standard neck are both brand new within the last 2 weeks. The changing seasons keep making me look. Soon I'll either have to ban myself from the equine sites, unsubscribe myself from the email updates or loose my card before I end up in rug buyers anonymous. 

If anyone wants I'll keep you all updated on my shopping sprees and I can write any reviews on my rugs if people are interested.
