Giddy up, giddy up! Autumn is nearly here and its time to saddle up the horses and don the jodhpurs as one of the season’s hottest transitional trends is going all equestrian. If this trend conjures up images of dusty boots, hefty helmets and over-sized wax jackets (or in my case, being chucked off a rather crazy horse as a child!) never fear. We have handpicked the best horse riding inspired pieces available on the high street to channel your inner jockey. Think tweed, checks and quilting as well as sumptuous shades and touchable textures such as velvet and suede – mix country club casuals with equestrian elegance. To avoid looking like a clean stable hand, choose one or two statement pieces to slip cohesively into your current wardrobe to achieve this effortlessly classic look.

There are four pockets, perfect for storing your lip-gloss or perhaps a Polo or two for your equine friend. For daytime chic, slip on some cute tan ankle boots and a basic tee but style these up at night with some bright coloured, towering platform courts.
Schuh Kourtney Riding Boot
£110.00
No equestrian rider worth her apples would be complete without a good pair of leather boots. These dark brown Kourtney Riding Boots from Schuh are ideal to have you trotting through the coming colder months. Leather boots in this classic, flat-heeled hunter style are a definite investment piece as the style will never date and the leather will last for donkey’s years with proper care.

Pair these boots with super skinny blue jeans or opaque tights and a sweet tweed skirt.
Ted Baker: Eligi Quilted Jacket
£149.00
Horse riding and quilted jackets have long been partners in crime, and you can give a nod to this trend with this Eligi Quilted Jacket from Ted Baker. The shaping is feminine as it nips in at the waist to give a womanly silhouette and features three buttons down the front, with a contrast middle button. Velvety softness adorns the thin collar for added detail, whilst the sleeves have elbow patches and small buttons at the cuff. As with most of Ted’s styles, the lining has a gorgeous detailed print which adds that extra something to this jacket. Wrap a long printed scarf loosely around your neck and voila equestrian chic at it’s best!
