Ariat<\/a> English riding boots are my personal favourite. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve had my most recent pair of short English riding boots from them (that I use with half chaps – also from Ariat – that are super thin, comfortable and machine washable) for almost 10 years now! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I barely take care of them.<\/strong> I probably shouldn’t tell you this, but I’ve never cleaned the leather with proper saddle soap. Not even once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whatever your riding style and whether you compete or not, Ariat has boots for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you’re a really new rider, then you might not want to invest in a pair but if you ride at all on a regular basis, it’s 100% worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A Little Bit About Ariat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    Ariat was founded by Beth Cross and Pam Parker in 1993, who wanted to revolutionize footwear for riders.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fun fact: they were previously in the tennis shoe industry. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    At the time, classic English riding boots were stiff, heavy and hard on your ankles.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    They wanted to make boots actually comfortable to wear and easier on your feet. In a way, more like Western boots that were designed to be worn all day long working in the fields and herding cattle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The result was cushioning “Cobalt” technology that allowed for greater shock absorption while riding or walking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The brand also partners with events that give back to the riding community. <\/strong>For example, it has sponsored everyone: from the National High School Rodeo Association in the company\u2019s early years, to Team USA at the 2012 London Olympic games.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
