RE: [IceHorses] Black Equissential full seat tights for sale
The cheapest Irideon WindPro tights I've found are $109.95 at Sportack. Have you found any cheaper anywhere??? Ferne I don't think I've been buying the WindPro version - I believe the Irideons I've bought may be three-seasons or something like that...? They are lightweight and very stretchy, with a fairly slick outside, and a lightweight fleece inside. I think I've paid about $65-75 for these.

I've always been sensitive over my size, but I'm thinner now than I've ever been while healthy. I was 25lbs lighter one time, but I was very sick, so that doesn't count. I'm *still* sensitive over my size. If you want to email me your measurements I'll be happy to verify them to the size chart for you, if not then I'd recommend going and trying some on. I have a lovely mismarked coat. It's marked a size 0. ;) I'm a size 12, but it makes me feel good to look at the label! Steph -- Brutality begins where skill ends.

RE: [IceHorses] Black Equissential full seat tights for sale
Let me share something... I bought a pair of custom deerskin breeches at auction, two pairs actually... I can't wear anything since. ;) The deerskin IS comfy and luxurious, no doubt. BUT, if you've never worn them, you'll have to keep in mind that, while the deerskin does have a little give to it, you will lose some of the stretchiness of the breeches. As I said before, I can still wear size 30's in other styles, but not in these. And I absolutely CANNOT wear the deerskin full seats in our humid summers - I melt. They are fine for me in the early spring and late fall. I am hanging on to my pair of Equissential arctic fleece tights, just in case I ever get motivated to lose a little weight. If I ever get another pair of the Equissentials, I will get just the extended patches, not the full seats. But, then, I'd expect to lose some of the pampered feel of deerskin. So, maybe I'll just stick with my cheap cotton summer-weight riding tights and Irideon fleece tights for winter. I like being able to wash and dry my riding pants without much special care anyway.

Hi Karen And I absolutely CANNOT wear the deerskin full seats in our humid summers - I melt. They are fine for me in the early spring and late fall. I am hanging on to my pair of Equissential arctic fleece tights, just in case I ever get motivated to lose a little weight. I can imagine as I remember wearing them at Equitana in Kentucky and it was brutal. Equissentials was the manufacturing company that made the tölting treads for us - light weigh tights with Icelandics tölting, trotting pacing etc up and down the legs. If you want a light weight comfy, inexpensive riding pant also check out Kerrits - www.kerrits.com They are made in Oregon and I have just bought a couple of pairs of boot cut pants - they only have knee patches so aren't as grippy as the deerskin but are cooler in the summer. Virginia can look at them in the Greenhawk catalogue (a Canadian company so you won't have the exchange rate). They are not NEARLY as fun - with fringe etc - as the Equissentials but also a good option. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com

RE: [IceHorses] Black Equissential full seat tights for sale
I digress..feedback about the tights really appreciated, as Pila has given me courage to ride Paddington/Slettir. The best thing to do in determining breeches size is to go to a local tack store and try some on. Breeches traditionally come in waist sizes, but of course, your hip measurement comes into play too, so you just need to try some to see about what size you need. These are wonderful breeches, the deerskin is grippy and soft...but since they don't fit me well, they need to go to a new home. These fit like size 30's but the full-seat deerskin does take a little bit of the stretch away. Pretty Pila is such a sweetheart, and so brave.

I can check the breech guide, I believe a 30 waist and a 42 hip, but I need to check tonight. That may be the rule, but the breeches stretch and it doesn't always work that simply. Personally, I don't like the breeches stretched as far as some folks - not that it bothered me when I was young and lithe. I know with the Irideon tights, I buy about two sizes larger than the charts, so as not to show off my excess Girl Scout cookies. Karen Thomas, NC

Hi Janice, I just love chocolate, sugar anything that is sweet. Ever since we started importing Belgiun chocolates and selling them on our chocolate website I have cut way back on eating chocolates. I don't know if you have ever tried Belgiun chocolates, they are so very rich that one can not eat more than on piece at a time. They just melt in one's mouth they are just so yummy. Anne

Generally what I recommend to people is to measure a pair of yoga pants you like or some other close fitting stretch pants and tell me the lycra content of them, then we can usually get the fit right on. My hips are 42 and my custom tight are 38 hips, my breeches I like are a 40 hip (both measurements unstretched). I like them snug, but not tight enough to read the underwear labels through. The fabric content also makes a HUGE difference in fit and look. My tights I won't wear out because I feel like a street walker, but the heavier french terry and twill tights and breeches I have I wear out to supper or wherever I go on my way to or from riding.
