This is a question that has many horse riders in a quandary as there are various opinions on whether it’s right or wrong. It may also be a question of style too, as there are so many fantastic styles of welly’s out there to purchase.

For those in the devoted welly camp, it has to be the famous Hunter welly’s. A symbol of British style and outdoor living, Hunter’s have gained popularity rapidly, not just with horse riders. Available in a variety of styles and colours, Hunter welly’s can regularly been seen at festivals or even just at the shops. Their stylish sleek shape and solid sole, make them suitable for leisure wear and extremely comfortable.

There are many horse riders who will only ride in Hunter welly’s, this is because of the thick sole with a solid heel. Most wellington boots have a thin sole and no heel-making them dangerous to wear when riding a horse. However, with the Hunter’s chunky heel and sole, wearers have the same level of control over the stirrup compared with normal riding boots.

Still wondering why you should pay that little bit extra and buy a pair of Hunter welly’s?

  • They are extremely hard-wearing, Hunter welly’s will outlast ordinary wellington boots by years, not just months.
  • They are available in a variety of styles and colours-you’ll be able to find a pair that is right for you, whatever your needs.
  • Sturdy sole and heel for added comfort and longevity of wear.
  • Hard wearing sole means they are suitable to wear whilst horse riding.
  • Lastly, you’re buying into a lifestyle, not just a product. The Hunter Boot Company was established in 1856 and has provided wellington boots for many different people.
