Protect your young rider at every moment in the saddle with the Cox Child Back Protector by Equithème, a safety solution designed to support progress, reassure parents, and maintain freedom of movement for budding equestrians. Lightweight, ergonomic, and flexible, this back protector is an essential that transforms every riding session into a calm and comfortable experience, from the very first canter to more advanced rides. This model is part of the children's equestrian back protection solutions specifically designed to ensure the protection and comfort of the youngest riders.
Specialized protection for children's backs
Because children's backs are more fragile and still growing, the Cox Equithème back protector is specifically tailored to their needs. Its innovative design envelops the spine and efficiently absorbs shocks while following the young rider's every movement, with no stiffness or discomfort. Thanks to its core made up of multiple layers of high-density foam, the Cox back protector cushions impacts and reduces the risk of injury in the event of a fall or sudden movement.
- Optimal shock absorption: The high-density foam distributes the force of impact across the entire surface area, effectively protecting the vertebrae from the lower back to the shoulder blades.
- Anatomic and wrapping fit: The back protector molds to the child’s physique for greater safety and steadfast stability, even on the liveliest ponies.
High quality materials and exceptional lightness
A protective vest should never be a hindrance, especially for young riders. That’s why Equithème has chosen materials combining robustness, elasticity, and breathability—to guarantee all-day comfort in every season.
- Technical fabric: A blend of nylon and elastane (50%) for flexibility and stretch, allowing the back protector to stay in place without compressing or restricting natural back movements, even when bending or squatting.
- High-performance inner membrane: The interior, made of 35% NBR rubber, provides both outstanding shock absorption and increased resistance to deformation. This multilayer structure ensures lasting efficiency and active protection.
- Lightweight for daily wear: Designed to be unnoticeable, the Cox back protector is so light it follows the child in lessons, competitions, or leisure, with no compromise on safety.
- Breathability and moisture management: Technical fibers wick away sweat, minimizing heat buildup even under a jacket or competition coat.
Freedom of movement and maximum ergonomics
Confidence in the saddle also comes from total ease of movement. Equithème has considered every detail so the Cox back protector respects the child’s autonomy: no unnecessary elements, a natural fit around the torso, and a discreet profile under or over clothing. The large armholes ensure full freedom for arms and shoulders, essential for learning riding techniques and performing movements or grooming tasks without constraint.
The central opening allows easy and quick dressing, fostering independence even for the youngest. The back protector fits close to the body, without a "shell" effect, adapting to different body shapes thanks to its natural elasticity and size options (XS to XL).
For which young rider is the cox equithème back protector ideal?
The Cox back protector is suitable for all children practicing horse riding—from beginners discovering the riding arena to young riders progressing outdoors or in competition. It is especially recommended for the early years, when discovery, equestrian games, and working with ponies create many unpredictable situations that can lead to falls and loss of balance.
With its unisex design, it suits both girls and boys and blends perfectly with typical riding attire. Its elegant colors (black or red) allow children to express their personality, while providing parents with the reassurance of increased safety.
When and how to wear the cox equithème back protector?
Designed for easy, independent use, the Cox back protector slips over a simple t-shirt or sweater, and can be layered over a thin jacket if needed. Its flat cut makes it easy to wear under a sweatshirt or training jacket, never creating uncomfortable bulk.

Ideal for:
- Riding ring sessions, lunging, group lessons, and pony club classes,
