Equestrian question…Do I need full seat breeches for half chaps and paddock boots?
Congrats on wanting to ride again and sorry for your illness. It is great that you can overcome that! It does not matter what you wear. You can mix and match anything. I wear breeches with the knee patches, paddock boots, and half chaps. I sometimes even wear jeans with my half chaps and paddock boots! I do not personally like full seat breeches because they can be really hot and they make my legs sweaty and damp in the summer. That is just my personal experience with them. You could try to find a pack of breeches for sale (maybe on eBay) that have tights and breeches half/and full seat. That way you could try out those and choose your favorite for future reference. Good Luck!
