Breeches and Jodhpurs are specifically designed leg wear intended to make horse riding more comfortable during equestrian events. Regular trousers and jeans can cause discomfort for riders, so these two styles of horse riding trousers were developed. However, they are quite similar, which can make it difficult for horse riding enthusiasts to choose between them. The small differences between Jodhpurs and Breeches can also impact the type of boots that can be worn while riding a horse.
