Rider’s Gene by Cavalleria Toscana: Fit, Style & Sizing Guide

Welcome to The Farm House family, Rider’s Gene! We’re thrilled to introduce this exciting new line by Cavalleria Toscana, created for riders who want serious performance with a modern, sporty edge. In this post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the brand, sizing tips, and our favorite RG pieces now available in the shop.

Meet Rider’s Gene

Rider’s Gene (RG) is the younger, sportier sibling of Cavalleria Toscana. Originally founded in Italy in the 90s and later adopted into the CT family, RG keeps its roots in customizable, quality gear, but with a fresh, athletic vibe. This collection is built for the next generation of riders who care about comfort, movement, and a little self-expression in the saddle. Expect top-tier fabrics, bold trims, and fits that flatter while performing beautifully.

Why Riders Love RG

If you’ve ever wished your show gear could feel more like your favorite athletic wear, RG is for you. Here’s why riders are loving it:

• Technical comfort – Lightweight bi-stretch fabrics move with you and never restrict. The waistband and sock bottoms are designed to fit smoothly and stay put all day.
• Breathability – Moisture-wicking, fast-drying, and ventilated materials help regulate temperature whether you’re showing or schooling.
• Modern style – With sleek paneling, perforated inserts, and contrast branding, RG apparel looks sharp and fresh while still staying show-ring appropriate.
• Affordable performance – Get Cavalleria Toscana’s high standards at a more approachable price point.

Rider’s Gene Women’s Sizing & Fit Guide

RG women’s styles run in Italian sizing, with most breeches and jackets designed for a slim, athletic fit. Breeches feature a high-rise waist that offers support and flattering coverage, while show jackets and shirts contour the body without restricting movement. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing up for the most comfortable fit.

Featured Rider’s Gene Pieces at The Farm House

Cavalleria Toscana RG Women’s High Waist Knee Patch Breeches ($265)

These breeches are a customer favorite for good reason. With a high-rise waist and contoured fit, they offer support and style in equal measure. The silicone knee patch grip provides stability in the saddle, while the four-way stretch fabric allows complete freedom of movement. Whether you’re riding every day or heading into the show ring, these breeches hold up beautifully while looking sharp. Finished with clean lines, subtle logo details, and a streamlined sock bottom for easy boot fit.

Cavalleria Toscana RG Women’s Long Sleeve With Perforated Insert Competition Shirt ($190)

This shirt is designed for riders who demand breathability and polish. It features lightweight jersey fabric with strategically placed perforated inserts to keep you cool and comfortable all day. The fitted cut sits perfectly under a show coat and maintains its structure without clinging. A crisp white collar adds traditional flair, while the athletic styling and performance feel make this piece a standout both in and out of the arena.

Cavalleria Toscana RG Women’s Competition Button Jacket ($515)

This show jacket blends the classic look of traditional tailoring with the comfort of athletic wear. The 4-way stretch fabric provides incredible flexibility and breathability while maintaining a clean, professional silhouette. It features a three-button front, subtle RG branding, and just enough structure to keep its shape without feeling stiff. It’s a competition staple that works just as well in the jumper ring as it does in dressage.
