As the leaves turn gold and the air gets crisp, it’s time to refresh your riding wardrobe with the new Dapplebay Autumn Collection, available now at Breeches.com. This season’s line is all about rich fall tones, elegant designs, and high-performance fabrics that keep you comfortable whether you’re schooling in the arena, heading out for a leaf-peeping trail ride, or dressing up for a barn Halloween bash.
With designs inspired by the changing seasons and made for modern equestrians, this collection pairs style with practicality. After all, autumn at the barn should be both beautiful and functional.
Seasonal Classics Reimagined
Dapplebay is known for its toile patterns. Now we’re reimagining this fan favorite into the perfect autumn top with two patterns– Autumn Toile and Blackberry Daze.
The Autumn Toile 1/4 Zip Riding Top takes one of Dapplebay’s most beloved patterns and reimagines it in rich fall hues over a sophisticated navy base. This premium top is crafted from a feather-weight performance fabric with an “ice feel” that keeps you cool when the sun’s out, yet layers perfectly under a vest or jacket on brisk mornings.
The longer cut ensures a flattering, polished look that stays tucked into your breeches, while the elegant fit transitions effortlessly from the saddle to post-ride coffee runs. Pair it with your favorite navy or tan breeches for a timeless autumn aesthetic that’s equal parts refined and practical.
As summer fades into fall, the Blackberry Daze Riding Top captures the in-between beauty of the season. Its moody blackberry vine design and deep, vintage-inspired tones make this top a standout piece for riders who love a more artistic take on equestrian fashion.
The ultra-lightweight fabric and sleek fit make it ideal for layering under a jacket or wearing solo on mild autumn afternoons. It’s the kind of shirt that makes you look as put-together as you feel, making it perfect for schooling, lessons, or even an impromptu barn photoshoot among the fall foliage.
A New Take on an Equestrian Pattern
For those who love traditional equestrian elegance, the Bay Houndstooth Riding Top brings a heritage-inspired print into the modern era. Crafted from Dapplebay’s signature feather-light fabric, this top offers the same cooling “ice feel” for year-round comfort.
Its mesh underarms, soft cuffs, and tailored fit give it a performance edge, while the subtle houndstooth pattern adds a touch of timeless charm. Whether you’re hacking out through the autumn woods or auditing a clinic, this piece delivers both polish and practicality in equal measure.
Match Your Horse: The Autumn Toile Saddle Pad & Fly Veil
Why should you have all the fun? The Autumn Toile Saddle Pad and Fly Veil bring the same rich, fall-inspired design to your horse’s look as the Autumn Toile Quarter Zip top. Crafted with breathable bamboo mesh and luxurious satin, the saddle pad combines comfort with performance. Its non-slip silicone grip keeps everything perfectly in place, even during spirited autumn rides.
Finish the look with the matching Autumn Toile Fly Veil, featuring soft crochet, stretchy ears, and elegant trim that tie the whole ensemble together. Whether you’re riding in a clinic or taking photos for your barn’s social media, your horse will look as polished as you do.
Celebrate the Season with Your Horse
Autumn isn’t just about new riding gear— it’s about making memories with your horse. Here are a few fun ways to celebrate the season:
1. Host a Barn Costume Contest:
Get creative! Dress up your horse in a safe, fun costume and show off your Dapplebay gear while you’re at it. We’re thinking matching witch hats or themed saddle pads (Blackberry Daze anyone?)
2. Go on a Leaf-Peeping Trail Ride:
Round up a few friends and plan a trail ride through the fall foliage. Dapplebay’s lightweight layers are perfect for crisp mornings and sunny afternoons.
3. Plan a Halloween Photoshoot:
Coordinate your outfit and your horse’s for a cozy fall photo session. Bonus points for pumpkins, plaid, and golden-hour lighting.
4. Trick-or-Treat at the Barn:
Make homemade horse treats and swap them with barn mates! Everyone loves a little festive fun (and snacks).
