Brown boots in hunters

[CoffeeLover]

Where did you get yours? I would love to get full chaps with fringe! My childhood chaps (still look brand new!) are the cheaper ones without it.

They are fair riders. They are perfect for horses that need a little reminder with a spur but you don’t need something so pointy to get your point across.

These are exactly what I need! Do you know the difference between the 20mm and 25mm? No where I’ve looked (even the HS website) indicates what this measurement is. I have large feet (size 11), so if it’s a measurement of the width or length of the part on your foot I’ll probably need the larger size.

I believe it’s the length of the spur

I was wearing my hunter green, fringed full chaps one rainy day at the feed store and a guy said, “Wow! Where are you from?!”

I think he thought I was an actual working cowgirl.

I was also told, “What are you trying to prove?” by some rando in Virginia, where most people know what they are.

I say, rock the brown boots! They’re gorgeous.

So like this whole length?

I don’t know for sure but it’s probably just the plastic part since 20 mm is slightly over 3/4 inch and 25 mm is slightly under 1 inch.

Oh good point. Thank you!!

I was thrilled to bits when as a kid, I got my first pair.

Also, I should update; I told my mom I was planning on wearing brown boots in the hunter ring and she told me absolutely not. Even as an adult I know better than I say no LOL

If you are wanting to explore getting some made, just google Western Leather Chaps and both Hunt seat and Western pop up, including Hobby Horse. Fringe is optional. Cannot remember where I got the pair I still have, whoever was popular among the East Coast H/J crowd in 1994…Something like “Professional” maybe….can recommend them as well as Hobby Horse if you want custom.

The first time I Googled Ladies chaps just now I got a Biker shop in Daytona offering Bike Week specials so stick Hunt Seat or Western in the search.

I got a pair of like-new Barnstable chaps off of Poshmark for $80! There’s a ton of old Barnstable chaps on Poshmark and Ebay. Their sizing chart is still up on their website, which makes it pretty easy to find your right size. I did have to tighten the waist on mine, but it was simple to unscrew the back medallion and punch a new hole.
