Our customers say...

Thank you for your never ending patience in creating the perfect pair of breeches for me.  Although I personally strive to provide that same level of customer service to my own clients, I very rarely EVER find a company that has great customer service to me!

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.

Thank you so much for getting our breeches out so quickly. We used them on our endurance ride the following day and they were AWESOME!!

No blisters or rubbing and they definatley helped me to stay on my crazy arab thru his first AERC ride.

Just wanted to say I received my new jods (two new pairs of Western Jods) and they are FABULOUS!!  So I'm now the proud and happy owner of 4 pairs of Equissentials...the darn things never wear out!!  And as before.....the fit is fantastic!

Just wanted to thank you and your team again for great service and a super product!!

Now, if only I was daring enough to try that leopard print leather.......

The Saddle Seat jods are just perfect! You cannot imagine the reaction in the barn. The first thing my trainer did was examine them closely - the fit, the leather, etc. He commented that he wants everyone in the barn to wear jods when they ride because it "is the proper way to ride." I left him with brochures and your color chart. 

 Sue - IL

 

I love my western jods! They are comfortable and great looking. I do a lot of trail riding and can't even begin to count how many people have stopped me on trail asking me where I got my jods - I am not a tights person and the zippers with the full legs make me feel like I'm wearing jeans, but with all the comfort of tights. I get really dirty out on trail and the fact you can machine wash these deerskin pants is incredible. The cell phone pocket is extremely handy. The cold and snow hasn't stopped me from trail riding, so I have just ordered the winter western jods and looking forward to testing the performance of the high-tech fabric. These jods are worth every penny:)

 I appreciate you convincing me to try a pair of your  breeches at the Florida Equine Capital Expo.  Ross & I are usually  pretty hesitant when it comes to things like that, when students ask  about the products we use we often don't like making recommendations  because some aspect of the product may not be up to par, either  quality wise, ease of availability, guarantee & warrantee wise, poor  customer service, etc.  I've been wearing the pair that you provided  me with at the FECE, they've probably had about 50 to 60 rides and  several washings.  I am pleased to say that they are comfortable to  ride in, they have prevented sliding in the saddle while still  allowing me to move and not get "stuck" to the saddle, they have worn  well - you can barely tell that they've been ridden in, and they have  washed well.  I have been sending people to your website in lieu of  being able to purchase them at one of these Equine events that may  not be accessible at the time.

Your product is something that I feel  confident recommending as I have no qualms about any aspect of your  product and/or services.  As I stated earlier, taking on sponsors has  been a difficult decision for us in the past.  Both Ross & I feel  secure about you, your product and your company, so we can be at ease  when supporting your merchandise.  We will put your logo and a link  to your website on our website.

I received your winter maternity breeches the day before, and rode in them yesterday.  I love them, they are warm enough for the upcoming Canadian winter and they fit!  Your customer service is excellent.

Tara - Canada

  

My first pair of full seat breeches arrived yesterday.  First of all I couldn't believe how quickly I had received a pair of custom breeches.  Second, the fit is FABULOUS!!  I've ridden in them twice and love, love, love them.  I am hard to fit because of my waist/hip ratio, but you have made me the ideal pair of breeches.  These are my first pair, but certainly won't be my last.  I'm going to order a pair of full seat Arctic 's for the winter in Ohio .  I've told all of the girls at my barn that they really need to invest in a pair of Equissentials. 

 Gwen -  OH

  

Thanks for making such an incredibly high-quality product.  I'll close with a story you'll appreciate.  My daughter and I started riding Icelandics just this Fall--and by May I had bought one!  Anyway, for Christmas she wanted to get a really good pair of riding breeches, and her husband and mother-in-law went in on a custom-made pair ordered from Germany, after much online research.  I was there when she received them at our Christmas celebration, and of course, she tried them on right away.   Although she tried to hide it, I could see she was disappointed because they felt quite stiff.  She's moved to Oregon now, and doesn't have much opportunity to ride at present, so I don't know if they've ever "broken in".  But what a contrast to your product, which is butter-soft and super comfy when it arrives.  No break-in period with Equissentials! 

      I also love your excellent customer service.  Whenever I had a question, someone always got back to me quickly and with a personal touch.  High quality product, high quality service--you've got it all!

your super-satisfied customer,

 Mary - WI

 

I received my new Equicool breeches as scheduled last Wed. and rode in them for the first time during my lesson this morning.  They're terriffic!!  I love the full seat, and they fit me PERFECTLY!   I have had a terrible time finding full seat breeches that fit me well and feel comfortable.  Can't tell you how many pair I've tried on and/or returned if ordered from a catalog.  Even the so-called "Shapely" breeches made by another manufacturer for those of us who aren't built like pencils(!) didn't fit well and were returned.  I appreciate so much your custom tailoring at no extra charge and your prompt service.  I also really appreciate that I could return the GripBums I purchased at Equine Affaire in Columbus, Ohio, for full credit toward the new ones.   You're a great company to deal with and you offer a quality product, a combination not too often found in business today.  Just wanted to let you know you're appreciated.  I will certainly sing the praises of Equissentials to my riding buddies.  Actually, one of them recommended you to me, so "word of mouth" does work (especially when your riding buddies are "fellow" middle/senior age women!)   Feel free to use any of my comments as a testimonial  if you wish.

I own two huge Percherons I use for riding. One is young, super-tall 18.3hh, the other very wide, round and strong. Although gentle giants, only the best breeches will keep me on and safely and in control on a draft. I have tried everything from the stickiest seats, (you know the brand) to really thick, coarse full-seats - all have been just okay, not really very good. I lived with it.
Until...
My custom Equissentials Western Endurance Seat Jods are instantly comfortable, just secure enough, soft yet tough enough for long trails and look great with the Australian saddles. Please, if you ride the big guys, you know how much leg you need, and never have, this pliable deerskin full seat will provide you with less fatigue, security and improved riding commands.

NR - CT

  

I have 3 different pairs of riding breeches from Equissentials! They are wonderful! I've had one pair recycled twice now! Each time I order a
pair of breeches I think they get better and better. My last pair I ordered is the Goodnight Western in a full seat. I have to say, even though I'm a
dressage rider (you wouldn't think they are western breeches), they are the most OUTSTANDING pair I own! (I love the cell phone pocket - it's perfect!) These breeches are terrific I don't have to wear my long boots or 1/2 chaps, and the best part is the dearskin leather helps you stay in the saddle - it's like the velcro we are always looking for as riders!!! Thanks again for a quality product,

Carolyn  - CA

  

I have ridden in my breeches today -  FANTASTIC! They were so comfortable and soft and there was no movement from them (apart from WITH me!).  They are like a second skin.  The deerskin affords so much grip, yet is so soft and pliable. I don't think I will be buying any other make of breeches from now on.  Thank you so much.

Gill

 

OK so it's taken me this long to write to say thankyou.  I've recently received my third pair of your jods, I have 2 pairs of the Icelandics and now some boot cut.  This time with the great pocket design - no more grovelling for the polos. 

I can't thank you enough for the super quick turn around time, even to the UK, as I wanted to look super smart for a clinic and left ordering too late.  Your jods give me confidence when I sit on a horse as they look great and I feel great.  Not bad for someone who genetics weren't generous with in the leg length department!

Debbie - UK

 

My superbly [custom fit], new breeches were waiting for me.. when I got home from a long journey.  This morning I tried them on and rode in them...they are just perfect!  I am happy to say I will be wearing your wonderful breeches for the filming of [my next series of] DVD's, [scheduled for release] this Christmas  Thank you ..for everything.

Sylvia Loch, Kelso, Roxburyshire, United Kingdom

 

 I don't even know where to begin!  I am the author of.. "Pilates for the Dressage Rider".. out in August 2006.  I am riding my young.., big moving horse and I have been having a hard time maintaining my position with the Pilates musculature I write about in my book.  I have been getting nervous, as the book is about to hit the market and I can't seem to do anything I say in the book on this horse!  So I decided to try a pair of your breeches.  First of all, I noticed immediately THEY FIT!!    Then I began the lesson and all of a sudden I COULD RIDE MY HORSE!!!!!  I was able to use my book and it all worked!  I know it was the breeches that made all the difference.  I held my position because I wasn't slipping around in the saddle!!!  So, HATS OFF TO EQUISSENTIALS!!!  THANK YOU  THANK YOU THANK YOU!

I'm afraid I may be on the way to being an addict instead of a collector.. It's so nice to be able to have these pant custom-fitted.  Being only 5 feet tall, it's been hard to find riding pants that fit well -- until I found Equissentials.  I love the (endurance) seat leather going all the way down to the ankle and the Western jods with the zippers on the lower leg are just plain cool.  It's also nice to deal with a company that has such exceptional customer service.

MLS  Warrenton, VA

 

I have two pairs of Equissentials BootCut Jods and absolutely love them.  I was a true jeans devotee until Equissentials and now never want to ride with anything else... It's surprising how much abuse the pants can take and still look good.  Thanks for a fabulous product and I look forward to getting another pair soon. 

MG, Denver, CO

 

Well I just ordered my fifth pair of Equissentials riding pants.  Obviously I love them.  This time, however, I also ordered the Leather Therapy Laundry Solution and Leather Therapy Rinse and Dressing.  Not only do you make the best riding pants ever, but these two products go hand in hand with your pants.  I tried both on my oldest pair, over three years old.  I could not believe my eyes, the fabric and the leather look brand new and feel it too.  Thanks for supplying such wonderful products to take care of these pants and make the most of them.  I will never be without!!

AE  South Lyon, MI

 

I just took my second ride in my new full seat jods and I love them.  The custom fit has made my knees feel so much better after a ride.  I really appreciate the speedy service and I'll be placing my order for a summer weight pair.  I'll never ride in jeans again.  Hurrah!!

Just wanted to let you know that I received my maternity breeches back after the sizing adjustments.  I was so amazed when I called to see if you had received them from me and I was told they had already been altered and were on their way back.  I had them back after only five days after I sent them!  I cannot believe how comfortable they are.  Thank you so much!

A.C  San Simeon GA

 

I absolutely love your full seat breeches.  It's like having Velcro on my seat and saddle!  Plus they look really good.  Thanks for a great product.  The pair I am recycling are a year and a half old and I wore them nearly everyday, including while I fed 73 horses, five nights a week.  I was surprised the breeches held up as well as they did.  Thanks agin for such a well constructed durable product.

J.J  Oakland CA

 

Customer service is alive!!!  Thank you for the half seat breeches.  I already loved the cut, fit and quality of your breeches and now I'm sold on the half seat, (I stick like glue)!  It is money and goodwill well spent because I rave to anyone that will listen about what a great deal your breeches are.  The only time in my many years of riding that 4'11" woman has breeches that really fit!  Thank you!

T.N.  Auburn, CA

 

You guys are the best!!  I can't believe you made my wife's breeches in time for her birthday: on such short notice, too, amazing!  I have done a great job with her gift this year.  Thanks for making me look good.  Customer for Life.

J.H.  Chapin NC

 

I have ridden from the time I was 6 months old (my grandfather walked a lot of miles!) and I have gone thru just about every brand and type of riding pants out there.  I never knew what comfort was until I found you guys!  The fabrics and leather are amazing - they hold up and look brand new wash after wash.  I wear them every day, even to run errands in!  Thank you so much for your wonderful, prompt and thoughtful service!  I would never, ever even consider wearing any other brand of breeches!!

H.A.  Greensboro, NC

 

My pair of Icelandics came today and I just had to try them on.
These are outrageous! I love them! WOW!
Customer service is still alive!

L. N.   Millers Falls, MA

 

WOW! Thanks so much. I just got my very first pair of jods. I am 37 years old and in all my life I have never tried on a pair of breeches that I liked. Yours fit so well, and I think they are even flattering!!!!  And they are comfortable. I don’t want to take them off.

Thank you so much. I know I will buy more in the future.

...Hello,  

I received my breeches and rode in them yesterday.  I LOVE them!  They fit great and are so comfortable.  The deerskin seat is fantastic.

You make a quality product.  I love the fact that you custom make them for the same price and boy, does the custom fit make a difference.

Another ecstatic customer. Thanks.

E.L. Bayside, WI

 

...Dear Equissentials team,  

I am writing to tell you that the extra patch you put on my full seat breeches works great!! I sent you my breeches on Monday and by Friday, they were not only fixed, but in my hands and ready to ride for the weekend. The patch you put on the calf works perfectly – no more boot rubbing. My instructor could not believe that I had my breeches back so quickly and that I raved about your service as she considers me “EXTREMELY PARTICULAR”. After seeing how my breeches have held up, my instructor would also like to try a pair of your GREAT breeches. I would appreciate if you could send an extra catalog that I could pass on to her.

Thanks again for a super product and even better customer service.

K. S. Madison, WI

 

...Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that I received my new plum full seat breeches yesterday, made to my 'new' measurements and they are exquisite!  I love the new color and can't wait to ride in them this weekend.  I'll have to send you back my green tea dressage patch breeches and have you remake them to my new, slimmer self, these new ones fit so perfectly!
Once again, your prompt service and wonderfully made breeches make your breeches the only kind I will buy anymore.  I can't wait to order more, both breeches and tights in your gorgeous new colors.  The only difficulty I have is making up my mind which colors to choose.

Thanks again,
A 100%+ satisfied customer.

...Dear Sir,

In January 2002, my unit, the Pittsburgh Police Mounted Patrol, received four pairs of your “Deerskin Full Seat Arctics”. As a unit, we really decided to put these riding pants “to the test” before declaring what we thought of them.

For a background, it should be noted that we are a full-time mounted unit. We ride seven days a week, four to six hours per day. Only ice, lightening or fog will stop us. While we generally do not have a lot of snow accumulation, we do have endless weeks of wet, windy frigid temperatures. It is very difficult to stay warm even when layering the clothes, which makes a person cumbersome and bulky, which is not good for police work.

The remedy was your “Arctic” riding pants. They are warm beyond belief without the bulk. They do not allow the wind to penetrate and snow does not make them wet. They are also extremely comfortable and flattering to different shapes; we have three women and one man.

To further test the pants, we decided to wear the “Arctics” while mucking the stalls before we rode. We are pleased to report that, even after mucking and haying, the pants looked clean and professional enough to go on patrol. They do not attract barn dirt and hay is easily shaken off. They also wash up and dry quickly.

In summary, we want to say that these riding pants are great! Should anyone want to contact me, you may give them my email address.

Thanks for a wonderful product.

Sincerely,
(Officer) Carole Duffy
Pittsburgh Mounted Police

 

...I received the maternity breeches ages ago-sorry it has taken me so long to reply!  They are so comfortable and fit great!  I have been telling everyone at my barn and giving them your website to check out.  I will definitely be ordering some more once I get my shape back!  Thanks again for such a quick and fantastic service!

P.H. New Tripolo, PA

 

...Hi, I purchased a pair of your Equissentials with the Dressage Patch at the AERC Convention in 2001.  I have ridden in them 5 days a week all year {washed every couple of days}  They look like new!  Thanks for a great product!

M.T. 

 

...Dear Equissentials, In April I ordered a pair of custom made pants from you at the Rolex in Lexington.  I should have written much sooner to tell you how much I love the pants!  They fit perfectly and are so comfortable!  Here's the problem: Considering how well the pants are made and my age{67}, the pants are going to outlast me.  But please continue to send the mailings.  I feel very attached to you.  Thanks for your expertise and personal attention.

L. R.  Louisville, KY

 

...I love your product.  I ordered 2 pairs and am delighted with them, and plan to order more tomorrow.  I will ask the order taker to include a brochure to tack on the bulletin board so that more people become aware of your wonderful breeches, etc.  Thank you so much for saving me from the dreaded "clarino" world of breeches.

...I am really impressed with your service & will highly recommend your product to all my friends in Nova Scotia  Sincerely, B. L. NS  CANADA

...Just bought a pair of your full seat breeches in Mocha from Riding Right.  I'm so pleased that I doubt I'll ever buy another brand.  Please send swatches of aubergine, spruce, navy, tan, grey and green tea.  I'll also spread the word!  Last year I rode solo from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail.  I'm currently writing a book about the adventure.  I wish I had known about your breeches!! 

Q. D. Ojai, CA

 

...I just got some black full seats and had a trainer comment on how I had lost weight.  Any pants that do that are worth 10X their weight in gold!  

Thanks.  J. N. Junction City WI

 

...Good Morning,  First off, let me thank you and your staff for the prompt delivery.  I was impressed.  Also, the CUSTOMS information that your company provided was appreciated.  Sometimes dealing with US orders can be difficult and expensive.  Your company is obviously prepared for Canadian orders.  Thanks.  As far as the breeches......I'm very happy with the quality and workmanship.  It's much better than anything I've previously owned, at any price.  The fabric is top notch and the leather is perfect.  Simply put, "your company makes a great product".  Once again, thank you for your quality product and professional service.  

Regards, J. W. Toronto, ON  CANADA

 

...I am amazed at your speed and service!  The breeches just arrived, and all the way from N.Y.  Even if I had ordered them from Madrid, they would not have been with me so quickly. 

Thanks and best regards,  H. A. Barcelona, SPAIN

 

...Dear Equissentials,

Wow!  I want to thank you for the incredible dressage patch breeches you sent.  You weren't kidding.  They are the most comfortable breech I've ever ridden in.  I am very impressed.  I think I piqued the curiosity and interest of a few people at the stable.
Again, thank you for your helpfulness and for those wonderful breeches.  Both have turned into such a positive experience!  I'm very grateful for your kindness.

S. O.  Reading, PA

 

...Just a note to tell you how much I love the breeches that I recently purchased from you.  Although I have purchased your products in the past, I particularly love the new breeches.  I ordered the full-seat/full leather leg breeches that endurance riders wear.  I use them to ride dressage and they are great!  No need for boots or half chaps when schooling.  You should market these breeches to the dressage crowd.

...You are correct, you do have a winner here.  The pants FIT PERFECTLY!  Love the material, the style, the color, everything.
