What is the difference between the adult range and Next Generation?
Next Generation is the children's line. It is sized by age — 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 years — and mirrors the adult pieces, so a child can wear the same style of base layer, riding tights or roll neck as the adult riding alongside them. Footwear, belts and gloves in the range use their own sizing: the Next Generation Walston C trainers come in Child 2 to Child 4 (£63.38, all three sizes in stock), belts run CS60 to CS80, and gloves run Child X-Small to Child X-Large.
The adult pieces in this collection use standard clothing sizes (X-Small to X-Large) for tops, inch sizes for breeches, and shoe-size bands for socks.
Which children's pieces are the safest bet for sizing?
Gloves, socks and belts are the most forgiving because they size in bands rather than exact ages. The Blakelaw Diamante Riding Gloves at £16.22 are in stock in Child Small, Medium, Large and X-Large, and the Dinley Belt at £39.35 comes in CS60, CS70 and CS80 — useful when you are buying as a gift and cannot measure first.
Do I want breeches or riding tights?
Breeches are the traditional choice for competition: a structured fit and a grippy seat. The Coldstream Kilham Competition Breeches (from £76.16) are the adult competition option here — lightweight Meryl fibre with moisture-wicking properties, a C-Shape Tech four-way stretch, and a full-seat Super Tech Silicone System for security in the saddle.
Riding tights are pull-on and stretchier, which makes them the easier everyday option for schooling and hacking. The Next Generation range includes riding tights for children in ages 5-6 to 13-14 years, though which colours and ages are available changes as stock rotates; right now the in-stock children's competition bottoms are the Hamilton Sparkle Breeches (from £80.92). A simple rule: tights for schooling, breeches for the ring.
What about layering in cold weather?
Layering beats one thick coat. Start with a base layer against the skin — the adult Coldstream Ednam Base Layer (£55.20 in Medium) or, for children, the Hamilton Sparkle Quarter Zip (£49.15 in 9-10 years Navy, £56.24 in 7-8 years Black) as a mid-layer. Add a waterproof over the top, such as the Next Generation Nenthorn Waterproof Jacket (£108.97, with a 10,000mm waterproof rating and Thinsulate insulation), and you can strip a layer off when the work warms you up rather than being stuck in the wrong weight all session.
Are these pieces good enough to compete in?
Yes for the show-ring pieces. The Clarilaw Diamante Show Jacket (£176.28) and Clarilaw Diamante Show Shirt (£57.54) are made for the ring, and the Lanark Show Shirt (£41.83) is the lower-priced show shirt in the range — revo-tech performance fabric, a mesh hexagon panel front and rear lined with diamantes, and a stand-up collar with press studs. Always check your discipline's or club's current dress rules before buying, because turnout requirements vary between showing, dressage and Pony Club classes.
Frequently asked questions
What sizes does the Coldstream Next Generation children's range come in?
Clothing in the Next Generation range is sized by age: 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, 11-12 and 13-14 years. Gloves run Child X-Small to Child X-Large; socks come in a Child 10.5-3.5 shoe-size band; belts come in CS60, CS70 and CS80; and the Walston C trainers come in Child 2 to Child 4. If your child sits between two ages, size up — a base layer that is slightly long is far more wearable than one that rides up in the saddle.
Should I buy breeches or riding tights for everyday riding?
For schooling, hacking and yard work, riding tights are usually the more comfortable pick: they pull on and stretch more. For competition, breeches are the conventional choice thanks to the structured fit and grippy seat — the Coldstream Kilham Competition Breeches, from £76.16, are the adult competition option in this collection, with a full-seat silicone system for security in the saddle. Many riders end up owning both and keeping the breeches for show days.
Can I wear Coldstream show shirts and jackets in the ring?
The show-ring pieces are made for exactly that. The Next Generation Clarilaw Diamante Show Jacket (£176.28) and the Clarilaw Diamante Show Shirt (£57.54) are in stock across all five children's ages, and the Lanark Show Shirt (£41.83) is the lower-priced show shirt option in 11-12 and 13-14 years. Dress rules differ between showing, dressage, Pony Club and unaffiliated classes, so check your class's turnout requirements before the day.
Do performance riding socks really make a difference?
They are about comfort rather than performance in any medical sense. The Coldstream Morriston Performance Socks (£17.30, Adult 4-8) are knitted with Coolmax fibres and a ventilated construction to help keep feet cool and fresh, with cushioning at the heel, sole and toe, an elastic airmesh arch to stop them slipping and a wide rib top to hold them in place — and they suit both long and short boots. If you have persistent foot pain, circulation problems or recurring blisters, speak to a healthcare professional rather than relying on a sock to solve it.
How do I look after Coldstream riding clothing?
Follow the care label sewn into each garment — technical fabrics, knitted jumpers and waterproofs all want different treatment. As a general rule, wash technical breeches, tights and base layers cool, skip fabric softener (it clogs the fibres that wick moisture), and let them dry naturally rather than on a hot radiator. Silicone seats and printed grip panels last longest when the garment is turned inside out before washing.
What happens if the size is wrong when it arrives?
You have 90 days to return anything unworn and in its original condition, so it is fine to order and try on at home over jodhpurs or a base layer. Orders over £50 ship free within the UK. If you are unsure which size to order, or which piece suits your child's class, get in touch and our team will help before you buy.
