Horse show mornings already come with enough decisions. Your breeches shouldn’t be one of them. Follow below for our breech comparison.
If you’re looking for a more structured, polished breech that’s made to step into the show ring, meet the Pro Breeches and Define Breeches. Both were designed for riders who want that clean, put-together show look without sacrificing the stretch, comfort, and performance you expect from Free Ride. But they don’t fit or feel exactly the same.
So… which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.
Breech Comparison: Pro Breeches vs Define Breeches
PRO BREECHES: For the rider who loves that classic, structured breech feel.
If you simply love that secure, held-in feeling, the Pro Breeches are probably going to feel right at home.
These are our more structured option. While the fabric still has 4-way stretch so you can comfortably move in the saddle, the Pros have more of that true breech “hold.” They’re designed to feel supportive, secure, and polished..
Think: Stretch where you need it, structure where you want it.
Fit: True to size. High rise. If you’re used to a traditional breech, prefer more hold and structure, or want that classic, polished feel for the show ring.
DEFINE BREECHES: Show-ring polish. All-day comfort.
The Define Breeches are made from an uber-soft, buttery fabric with stretch for days. They move with you, feel ridiculously comfortable on, and still give you enough hold and coverage to create that polished breech look. Basically, these are the breeches you can put on first thing in the morning, wear through schooling, showing, barn chores, and everything in between.
Think: Your comfiest breeches, made show-ring ready.
Fit: If you’re between sizes or prefer a closer, more supportive fit, you can size down in this style. High Rise. If you prioritize comfort and stretch, want a softer feel, or love the idea of an all-day breech that can still take you straight into the show ring.
Pro or Define? Let's make it easy.
It really comes down to how you like your breeches to feel.
Go PRO if:
You love a traditional breech feel. You want more structure, stronger hold, and a secure, supportive fit while still having 4-way stretch to move comfortably in the saddle.
Go DEFINE if:
You want buttery-soft fabric, tons of stretch, and all-day comfort, but still want enough hold and coverage to look polished when you walk into the show ring.
Either way, both were made to wear all day long.
Pro and Define are two of our go-to options when you're looking for that polished show-ring look, but they’re only part of the Free Ride breech lineup. Maybe you want leggings or light breeches. There is a Free Ride breech for that. Find your perfect breech.
