Mountain Horse Winter: Riding Boots, Jackets & Breeches

Riding Through Winter: Mountain Horse Boots and Jackets That Work

Winter riding gear has a harder job than everyday outerwear. It has to keep you warm while you stand still doing chores, breathe once you are working, and stand up to mud, water and repeated washing. Mountain Horse has been making riding apparel and footwear since 1988, and its winter line is built for that cycle.

A winter riding boot is not a snow boot. It keeps a sole and heel slim enough to sit safely in the stirrup and insulates without bulking up the calf, so your leg aids still come through. The Rimfrost III, Arctica, Snowy River and Active Winter boots each do that in a different way, from Ice Hook soles for icy footing to waterproof full-grain leather.

Mountain Horse jackets and parkas, like the Alicia Parka, are cut for the saddle: longer at the back with room to move. Polar breeches add warmth through the seat and leg for the coldest rides. Check whether a jacket is waterproof or water-resistant before you buy, because in February they are not the same thing.

Tack of the Day carries Mountain Horse alongside winter gear from Kerrits, Horseware and Tredstep, often priced well below full retail, and stock rotates as brands clear seasonal inventory. Browse winter riding tops, see our pick of the best winter riding boots of 2026, or shop all winter boots.
