Arctic Horse All Weather Riding Skirts

ALL WEATHER RIDING SKIRTS

We're in Hibernation in 2020

Our lovely horse people,

We aren't making custom skirts in 2020. This year, we're working on improving our riding skirts, developing new innovative gear (you're going to be in love!) that solves weather problems, and eliminating wait times from order to delivery.

Don't panic, we're not closing... we're hibernating. We're borrowing a strategy from the bears of Alaska in order to incubate a new period of life for Arctic Horse.

We started Arctic Horse 4 years ago in a little corner of Alaska with a couple of women. We launched our All Weather Riding Skirts to a world of women (and men) that didn't traditionally ride or work in skirts.... (click below to read full story)

Made in Alaska

Huge mountains, hungry wildlife + lots of weather.

We know a thing or two about being prepared when we go out with our horses.

"The unlikely invention that could save your life!"

~Horse Illustrated

“This may just be the best horse clothing investment I’ve ever made- the skirt is tough, waterproof, and best of all WARM! I can’t get enough of this skirt- I wear it even when I’m not riding!"

-Jennifer

"BEST PURCHASE IN A LONG TIME!"

~Lilly

“Love the skirt. My horse loves it, too. Keeps us both warm. We rode in a snowstorm the other day and loved it.”

~Yolanda

"Thank you Arctic Horse for the outstanding experience and for my absolutely well crafted skirts both long and short. I love them and can’t wait to see what’s next.”

~Cynthia

All Weather Riding Skirts aren't about wearing a skirt on a horse.

{But, if that's your thing, that's cool, too}

They solve a problem {lower body weather protection} better than anything else.

Mittens are warmer than gloves because the big air pocket in the mitten traps heat better than the small air pockets in the fingers of gloves.

Riding Skirts are mittens for your legs {riding pants/jeans are gloves for your legs, by the way}.

When the bad weather hits, our All Weather Riding Skirts, made from the best technical fabrics available, form a protective air pocket around your legs to keep out the rain, wind, or snow.

We have All Weather Riding Skirts for every season of the year.

Arctic Horse was founded with a clear objective: provide women with the real gear they need to stay warm & dry out with their horses.

Chasing the Rain- How We Waterproof Tested The Tongass Rain Riding Skirt

As a wildlife biologist and life-long horsewoman, I’ve spent the majority of my life out in the elements. In the barn, on the trail, and conducting field research 400 miles...

The Equestrian Woman Bias: riding isn't a sport and equestrians aren’t real athletes…right? Outdoor Retailer thinks so.

The Equestrian Woman Bias is the perception that horseback riding isn't a real sport, and therefore, equestrians don't need performance gear like other outdoor athletes.

Compounding Equestrian Woman Bias is the fact that the majority of equestrians are women, and since the women's outdoor clothing industry has been miles behind mens in terms of innovation and performance (because you know, we don't do "real outdoor stuff" ~eye roll~), well, you can understand why women's riding gear leaves you literally out in the cold.
