Half chaps are favoured by riders who are looking for a more comfortable alternative to the long riding boot. Covering the area between the knees and ankles, the half chap allows for greater flexibility and, when well fitted, they also offer an increased contact with the horse ensuring that your aids can be effectively communicated. They are usually secured by an elasticated strap which goes under the jodhpur boot with either a Velcro or a zip fastening that goes up the length of the chap. Half chaps provide protection, support and security to a rider's shin and calves, and also stop jodhpurs from rising up the rider's legs.
