Childrens Riding Boots

The Toddy Children's Short Boots are the simplest option: a low-cut pull-on boot with a stretchy ankle panel, designed for younger children who need to get boots on and off quickly by themselves. The Ohio Jodhpur Boots and Bronx Boots sit higher and give a more secure, snug fit around the ankle and lower leg, which is what most riding schools ask for once a child starts having proper lessons.

For mucking out, leading ponies and general yard duties, the Bronx Boots are the toughest option here, with a Duratread anti-slip sole, gel-cushioned heel inserts and a moulded shank for extra support. The Ohio Jodhpur Boots are a lighter, more wallet-friendly alternative for children who mainly need a boot for lessons rather than heavy yard work.

Our childrens riding boots run from EU 28 to EU 33 (UK C10 to C13). Because children's feet grow quickly, it's worth checking your child's current foot length against our size guide rather than buying up "to grow into" – a boot that's too loose in the foot can rub and make it harder to keep a heel down in the stirrup. The Toddy Short Boots have a stretch ankle panel that allows a little flexibility over thicker socks, while the Ohio Jodhpur Boots are described as a snug fit, so consider sizing up half a size if your child usually wears thick riding socks.

• Toddy Children's Short Boots – soft, breathable fabric lining and a cushioned footbed, ideal for shorter riding sessions and everyday wear.
• Children's Bronx Boots – breathable membrane lining, a removable moisture-wicking footbed and a moulded shank for extra stability underfoot.
• Children's Ohio Jodhpur Boots – a removable moisture-wicking insole inside a soft Italian leather upper, kept simple to keep the price down.

All three models are designed with independence in mind. The Toddy Short Boots and Bronx Boots both have reinforced leather pull tabs at the heel, and the Bronx Boots add twin elasticated side panels so children can ease them on without help. The Ohio Jodhpur Boots use a simple slip-on design with a rear leather pull, which most children manage on their own after a little practice.

No. None of the boots in this collection – the Toddy Short Boots, Bronx Boots or Ohio Jodhpur Boots – are described as waterproof. They're built for yard and arena use rather than wet outdoor conditions, so for very wet weather we'd recommend pairing them with a dedicated waterproof yard boot or wellington instead.

The range covers EU 28 to EU 33 (UK C10 to C13), which typically suits children from around 4 to 9 years old, though it always depends on foot size rather than age. Check your child's foot length against our size guide before ordering.

The Children's Ohio Jodhpur Boots are a simple, budget-friendly slip-on boot with a snug fit, currently in our clearance range. The Children's Bronx Boots are a sturdier option with elasticated side panels, a breathable membrane lining, a moulded shank and a Duratread anti-slip sole, better suited to regular yard use.

The Toddy Children's Short Boots are the easiest, thanks to their low-cut design, stretch ankle panel and reinforced heel pull tab. The Bronx Boots are also easy to manage independently, with twin elasticated side panels doing much of the work.

Yes. The Toddy Short Boots in particular work well as an everyday boot thanks to their comfortable cushioned footbed and soft nubuck leather, while the Ohio and Bronx boots are better kept for yard and riding use given their more specific fit.

No. The Children's Ohio Jodhpur Boots in Black and Brown are in our clearance range simply to make room for new stock, not because of any fault. As with all clearance lines, we'd recommend checking the size guide carefully before ordering, as exchanges on clearance stock can be limited once sizes sell out.
