Shires Moretta Amara Black Child's Half Chaps - Machine Washable Amara Fabric & UltraFit Leg Panel - Multiple Sizes

Give your young rider the professional edge and secure grip they need to excel in the saddle with total confidence. These Shires Moretta Amara Half Chaps offer the perfect blend of durability and flexibility, ensuring your child stays comfortable through every lesson, Pony Club rally, and trail ride.

Engineered for the rigors of the barn, these chaps are crafted from high-performance Amara fabric—a specialized synthetic blend of 80% PU and 20% elastane that provides superior wet-weather grip compared to traditional suede. The technical design integrates UltraFit elasticated panels to create a streamlined, custom-like silhouette that supports the leg and enhances stability without the restrictive stiffness or high maintenance of leather boots.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Machine Washable Amara Fabric: Crafted from a durable 80% PU and 20% elastane blend that maintains high friction and grip against the saddle even when wet from rain or sweat.
• UltraFit Leg Panels: Full-length elasticated inserts paired with genuine YKK zips ensure the chaps contour precisely to the leg for a sleek, professional appearance.
• Reinforced Inner Calf Patches: Designed to enhance leg stability and protect against friction, helping young riders maintain a secure and quiet leg position.
• Secure Elastic Foot Stirrups: Heavy-duty stirrup straps keep the chaps perfectly in place, preventing twisting or sliding up the leg during active jumping or flatwork.
• Stretch Zip Tidy Straps: Top and bottom press stud closures provide a neat finish while ensuring the zips remain secure and protected throughout the ride.
• Low-Maintenance Care: These chaps are fully machine washable on a cool cycle with non-detergent soap, making them the ideal choice for everyday schooling and barn chores.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for my child?
A: For the best performance, measure the widest part of the calf and the height from the floor to the back of the knee while the child is seated and barefoot. We recommend a very snug initial fit; the zip should feel tight at first as the elastic panels are designed to stretch and mold to the leg to prevent the chaps from sliding down or twisting during a ride.

Q: Are these half chaps suitable for Pony Club and competitions?
A: Absolutely! These chaps are a staple for Pony Club, daily schooling, and lower-level English disciplines. They provide the protection and polished look of a tall boot without the high cost, making them a versatile and practical investment for growing riders.
