The Pikeur company has been a leading manufacturer of top quality riding clothes for over sixty years. The company is based in Germany but markets their products world wide. Since 1972 they have had the honor of supplying every German equestrian team, including the Olympic riders.

Their clothing is well known not only for its very high quality but also for its functionality. Riding is a tough sport and competitors need to know they can really rely on their jackets, breeches and helmets. Every item in the extensive line is carefully designed, tried and tested. This attention to detail is very apparent for anyone who tries on one of the products. This is why the company has a huge and loyal following all over the world.

The Shadbelly dressage coat is an essential item for high level dressage competitions. It is a very distinctive coat, that helps to complete the look of elegance the sport is famous for. A dressage coat must be of the very highest quality and carefully crafted to meet the exact needs of the rider.

Shadbelly coats are available for both men and women. They are beautifully crafted from a combination of materials. Most of the coats today are over half polyester, blended with pure wool and a small percentage of elastane. This helps to give the coat just enough give to make the rider comfortable yet still maintain its classic look. The weighted tails help to keep them in place and not distract either horse or rider.

Riding is a sport that does come with some risks. With this in mind safety should always be a top priority. The very latest technology has been incorporated into the helmet designs. Models are available for both adults and children that meet or exceed European safety standards. Not only are the helmets very safe but they are also comfortable to wear and loaded with additional features that riders love.

Wearing a well fitting helmet that exceeds the safety standards is the best way to protect any rider, especially a child. The company helmets are exceptionally well made and loaded with great features.

Show jackets are another staple of the company. Many people love the value for money Epsom jacket. It sports two rear vents that make it comfortable, plus two front pockets.
