BASIC collection: essential equestrian clothing for every day
The BASIC collection is the HORSE Spirit riding wear you reach for in the morning without a second thought. It brings together riding tees, thermal tops, a tank top, zip-up sweatshirts, vests, hybrid, winter and neoprene jackets and a riding cap. Everything sits within a simple colour palette – black, white, beige, brown and burgundy – so the pieces mix and match freely.
It is made for riders who see their horses every day and want easy-care basics that never look dated.
What is in the BASIC range and how to choose
BASIC, LINE and PURE tees are cut from a breathable Italian fabric with plenty of stretch. Colours include black, beige, brown, burgundy, blue and pink. Thermal tops have long sleeves with thumbholes, a neck zip and a brushed inner side.
The riding sweatshirt has a full zip, stand-up collar and zip pockets, comes in black, beige and brown, and works on its own or under a jacket. For outer layers there are sport vests with a faux-fur trimmed hood, hybrid jackets with stretch sleeves, hooded winter jackets and neoprene jackets. An adjustable cotton cap and a gift voucher round it off.
Think about when you ride most: a tee or sleeveless riding top is enough for summer schooling, autumn calls for a sweatshirt or vest, and winter for a proper jacket.
How to build a riding outfit from BASIC pieces
The collection really comes into its own when you layer. Start with a fitted tee or thermal top, add the zip-up sweatshirt and finish with a vest or hybrid jacket. Warm up mid-lesson? Take one layer off and you still look put together.
Beige and brown pieces pair well with white or brown riding leggings, while black combinations stand out with lighter ones. For more styles, browse all equestrian tops or riding vests and jackets. White BASIC, LINE and PURE show shirts also feature in our show riding clothing.
Care tips to keep your basics looking good
Wash tees, thermal tops and sweatshirts gently at a low temperature, inside out and without fabric softener, which reduces breathability. Close the zips first so they do not snag the fabric. Quilted vests and jackets prefer a delicate cycle; let them dry naturally, then give them a light shake so the filling spreads evenly. Always follow the care label.
