I need any of those three. Please help me find some good places, I need the half chaps to be under $50 and then for my western chaps (doesn't have to be show) and English Breeces (preferably full seat) $80 or bellow. I need some but I don't want to spend a whole lot because I'm not going to use them very long.

I need both breeches and chaps or just half chaps. x.x I stink a finding apparel because I never really show/use any I just ride in whatever I've got on.. jeans/sweatpants shorts whatever.

Check out http://www.equestriancollections.com/ I have found some fairly reasonable prices there. Check out their closeouts and outlet sales. As far as western chaps I prefer chinks the shorter style. I don't know where to tell you to look for those as I have mine made by a local leather/saddle maker.

I like riding in yoga pants :lol: not near as expensive but no sticky butt.

I've never ordered from them...thats terrible. forget that then Abby :shock: The only breeches I have are smooth stride but they run a little high. They are boot cut for western boots which is hard to find on the english sites.

I really like the Smooth Stride http://www.smoothstride.com/ They are made in the USA and customer service is great. Its a pretty small company, just getting started. They wash up really nice and are very comfy.
I have seen some western show chaps in country supplys catalogue horse.com I don't recall the price but I dont think they were too outrages

Thanks for all the help guys. The only tack shop we have within an hour from here only sells new or custom made chaps/breeches etc and they are in the hundreds and I really don't want to spend that much money on something I'm only to use for a few months if that and never use again.

Abby, i got those breeches today, and i love them. There's a little extra room in the back end when you're standing, but its fine when you're sitting. I would also order a size bigger than what you normally are because they do run on the smaller side. Other than that, they are really comfy. Can't wait to try them out.

Ooh wow. Okay, I really liked some of their breeches too. Which ones did you order Appy?

edit- Nevermind I found the onse you ordered. I really liked those ones. Are they comfortable around the ankle? I hate it when they bunch and squeeze at the ankle.

i believe horseloverz.com is having a free shipping special right now (free shipping on $50 or more, free shipping plus 10% off on $100 or more). you should be able to find all of those things there and I've gotten some fantastic deals. i'd also check out ebay if you know your size. Smart pak has some great things like someone already mentioned.

I have shopped on e-bay but I don't know my size yet, so I'd have to shop around and have the option to trade the item in for a larger size. I have ordered a lot of stuff form horseloverz so I'll check out their store for chaps/breeches and the likes.

they are extremely comfortable around the ankles. I didn't try them on with boots tho, so i cannot say how they are like that. My fiance said they looked good on me, so i'm trusting him. I also did the mounting test (when i put my foot up like i'm getting on) and i was able to do it no problem.
Also with Smart Pak, if you order before 2pm EST, they ship out that day. I did it and got it delivered the next day, even though i selected ground shipping. I was quite impressed.

Does it have a nice butt or just okayishy average? I slip and slide around my saddle like its greased or something, I would like something with a bit of grab but is capable of some give. I can't tell from the pictures D:

I rode today and wore the full seat breeches. They are really comfy and i did feel they stuck to the saddle. I really tried my best to feel a difference, but when Vega was bucking, it was hard to tell :)

I did like them and will be using them all the time when i ride. One thing though, the white gets dirty instantly. Also with these they aren't the low rise, but i feel they support better than my low rise knee patch ones. They didn't slide down when i was riding at all. But the waist band is a bit restrictive. I didn't notice it when i was riding, but sitting in the car i did. It's not to the point where i can't breath or anything, but it takes some getting used to. (all of my pants sit below the waist so this was new for me)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)

i wear mine bellow the waist too. I'll be sure to order a nice relaxed fit and if I can find a tailer, if need be, I'll let it out if I find I need itbut i shouldn't. Thanks a ton, I will most likely be ordering if I don't find a better deal by Tuesday.
