I order regularly from Jeffers, Stateline, and Dover. Even with shipping, WAY cheaper than the local store.
Get an actual measuring tape. Most of the online items have sizing charts that I have found to be accurate when purchasing for a 10 yo girl.

Having said that, if you can get hand-me-downs from the barn, even better.

For now, we are using black Paddock boots and black half chaps. If and when we buy proper field boots, I will look at the tack exchange first.

Good luck!

OK, so we went to a store in Olympia and got my son a schooling helmet and paddock boots. We also measured him with their apparel so I could order. He now has a helmet, paddock boots, half chaps, 2 pairs of BOYS breeches (thank you Dover and Ovation!), and schooling gloves. He has a pair of field boots on order. He has been riding for a couple of weeks now and LOVES it. His trainer says he is a natural and has a great feel for the horse. He is picking things up much faster than I ever did. I will bring my camera to his next lesson so I can gets some pics of him riding and post them.

That is so great. I'm glad he loves it. Funny that the boys are so outnumbered. But....the boys that do ride, really seem to excel.

My son is currently in private lessons for a few more weeks and the group class right before his lesson is all girls. His first lesson, the girls were like, "Oh, my! Look! It's a boy! We have a boy at the stable now!" lol My son loved it!

So, we now have his 2 pairs of breeches, one black and one beige, his half chaps, paddock boots, field boots, zocks, and helmet. Now onto the search for a boys show coat for this summer. *sigh* We will get there, slowly.

hehe I think he is too adorable but he got mad at me for saying that today. He moves to group lessons next week and he will be the only boy so he is looking forward to that.

I also forgot to add that we ordered him a flame helmet cover. He loved that one!
