Step into the spotlight with the BARE Equestrian Competition Collection. We know that show day is the culmination of every early morning and every ounce of dedication. That’s why our competition range is designed as a seamless blend of technical innovation and luxury aesthetics, ensuring you feel as polished as you look.
From the centre line to the final fence, our gear is engineered for riders who demand excellence. Our ladies competition tights and breeches provide superior grip and a sophisticated silhouette, giving you the ultimate competitive edge when it matters most.
The Signature Fit: Sculpt Hybrid Breeches
The Sculpt Hybrid Breech is a sophisticated evolution of traditional show attire. Designed with a shapewear-effect silhouette, these are for the rider who wants the structure of a formal breech without sacrificing the athletic flexibility of a technical tight.
-
The Structured Look: Featuring a high mid-rise waistband with light tummy control, belt loops, and faux back pockets with decorative silver buttons, these offer a premium aesthetic that commands attention in the ring.
-
The Technical Edge: A silicone full seat in our signature BARE logo print ensures total stability, while dual phone pockets allow you to keep your essentials secure during warm-ups and between classes.
-
Pro-Ring Palette: Choose our iconic crisp white for a traditional professional finish, or opt for the white with black seat version—a clever hack for hiding saddle marks and maintaining a spotless appearance through long show days.
The Details That Define a Winner
Success is in the details. Our collection extends beyond the rider to ensure your horse looks the part, too:
-
Luxury Competition Saddle Pads: Anatomically designed for wither clearance and moisture management, keeping your horse comfortable while looking crisp.
-
Technical Horse Ear Nets: Eliminate distractions with our sleek, breathable ear bonnets that coordinate perfectly with your show-day kit.
-
Performance Fabrics: Our show horse riding tights feature clean lines and supportive fits, providing the technical comfort needed to stay focused under pressure.
Show Ring Guide: What to Wear?
Choosing the right colours for your discipline is the key to a winning picture. Whether you are aiming for a classic look or a modern edge, coordination is everything.
-
Hunter Classes: Tradition is key. Pair our Hunter, Gold, or Stone toned equestrian riding tights with a classic tweed jacket for a timeless look.
-
Open Classes: Stick to the classics. A solid Navy or Black jacket looks stunning paired with Vanilla Creme, Stone or Lemon Butter tones for the correct turnout and elegant style.
-
Dressage & Jumping: White is the gold standard. Our Sculpt Hybrid Breeches in White are the premier choice for a sharp, high-performance finish.

Competition FAQ: Pro-Tips for the Ring
What is the "Shapewear Effect" in the Sculpt Hybrids?
Unlike standard riding tights, our Sculpt Hybrid Breeches are crafted from a firmer, bespoke technical material. This provides a more "held-in" and smoothed-out feel, giving you a flawless silhouette under your show jacket while still allowing for 100% flexibility in the saddle. The tummy control and dlightly heavier weight fabric hides lumps and bumps leaving you to ride with confidence and no VPL.
How do I choose between white and white-with-black-seat?
If you are competing in a strict discipline that requires a traditional all-white look, the All White Sculpt Hybrid is your go-to. If you want to feel more confident (we all know the feeling of having to pull on those 'all whites') and the ability to hide saddle dust and oils, the White/Black Seat is a brilliant choice.
How do I care for my competition horsewear?
To keep your saddle pads and ear bonnets looking brand new, we recommend a cold gentle wash in a laundry bag to protect the delicate details. Always dry in the shade to maintain that crisp, high-end finish.
