If you ride often, you know the value of a good pair of riding boots. Boots that fit well and are designed specifically for horseback riding significantly improve the riding experience, since riding boots have equestrian-specific features not found in regular boots. They’re made to shield a rider’s legs from getting pinched in the saddle leathers, have reinforced toes for added protection when walking around the stables, and have a specially shaped heel that prevents the foot from sliding through the stirrup.
In this post, we’ll highlight seven pairs of Ariat’s most popular riding boots, giving special attention to their women’s tall riding boots. We’ll dive into what makes each pair unique and uncover why Ariat riding boots are a top choice with equestrians.
Why Choose Ariat Riding Boots?
Ariat’s tall riding boots are the product of nearly 30 years of experience creating quality equestrian footwear and apparel. The company’s namesake is Secretariat, the 1973 Triple Crown-winning racehorse celebrated for his enthusiasm for racing and big-hearted love of competition. Ariat is well-known for producing carefully crafted, durable women’s equestrian boots. Their reputation for quality has made them a favorite of English riders both in the USA and abroad. Ariat manufactures a large selection of women’s equestrian boots and paddock boots.
