Best Women's Winter Horse
Riding Jackets of 2025

No matter how much we love horses, wintertime as an equestrian can be a bit miserable once the temperatures drop. Whether you're learning how to steer, training upper-level skills, or just trying to clean your horse's stall without feeling like a popsicle, having the right jacket is absolutely essential for every equestrian. A good riding jacket will be designed to keep your core warm without restricting your movement. When your core stays warm, so do your extremities—which means less numb fingers and toes!

With so many different riding jackets out there, finding one that suits your individual needs can be overwhelming. We know winter weather can look very different depending on where you're riding. That's why our equine experts have compiled this list of our top winter riding jackets based on features like warmth, waterproofing, mobility, and more. Whether you're in the saddle during a pop-up shower (or flurry!), cleaning stalls in the snow, or teaching lessons in a bitter breeze, there's a jacket for you!
