Cavalleria Toscana Full Grip Dressage Breeches Unisex Kids Basic

The white version comes in 140 (age 10), 152-158 (age 12-13) and 164 (age 14). Cavalleria Toscana uses its own kids' sizes 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14; on our site each size is shown as a length in cm with an age. Children of the same age vary a lot, so measure your child, compare with the Cavalleria Toscana size chart and get in touch with the shop if you are unsure between two sizes.

White breeches need a little more care. Cavalleria Toscana's instructions: wash inside out at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle, do not bleach, do not tumble dry, do not dry clean and line dry; iron inside out at a maximum of 110°C without steam. Ideally wash white separately from dark or coloured clothing, and rinse out grass or saddle soap stains before they can set.

At a competition, white breeches are usually worn with a show jacket and a light-coloured shirt or top. What exactly is required for your discipline and class is, again, set out in the rules.

Choose these white full grip breeches if your child wants grip across the whole seat and needs a pair that can also go to competitions. If you would like the same model in a colour for everyday training, you will find it in Dusty Rose and Stormy Grey on a separate page.

If your child prefers grip at the knee only, the Cavalleria Toscana Jumping Knee Grip Girls breeches are a better fit; they also come in white. And for a young child who is still learning to get dressed on their own, riding leggings without a zip or buttons from our range are often easier.

The breeches fasten at the front with a zip and button, and there are two slash pockets. The elasticated sock cuff lies flat inside the boot, and the transparent full grip runs across the seat and the inside of the legs.

Wash inside out at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry and do not dry clean; line dry. You can iron them inside out at a maximum of 110°C, without steam. Ideally wash white separately from dark or coloured clothing.

Which size should I choose?
In white there are three sizes: 140 (age 10), 152-158 (age 12-13) and 164 (age 14). Do not go by age alone. Measure your child, compare with the Cavalleria Toscana size chart and ask the shop for advice if you are between two sizes.

How do I wash these breeches?
Inside out at a maximum of 30°C on a gentle cycle. Do not bleach, do not tumble dry and do not dry clean. Line dry, and if needed iron inside out at a maximum of 110°C, without steam.

What does full grip mean?
With full grip, the grip runs across the seat and the inside of the legs. With knee grip, it sits on the inside of the knee only. On these breeches the grip is transparent.

Are these dressage breeches?
The name says so, but at Cavalleria Toscana "dressage" in the model name stands for full grip. For this model, the brand lists show jumping, hunter, eventing and endurance as disciplines. Which grip your child prefers is mostly a matter of feel in the saddle.

Can my child compete in these white breeches?
White and beige are the usual competition colours. What is compulsory or allowed depends on your discipline and federation, so check the rules.

Are these breeches for boys or girls?
Both: it is a unisex model.
