My thoughts on Ride Proud and the People behind it.
This is not really a review, or maybe it is, let’s just see where it goes and you can take it how you see it. What I am trying to do is give insight into the kind of person/people you are dealing with when you purchase from Ride Proud Clothing.
I have known Colleen since childhood, I think we were maybe 5 or 6 years old. A long time! Our first day at school in fact, so I reckon I know her pretty well. Lots of school holidays in and out of each other’s home. Her Mother just expected me to be around I was the extra daughter in her family, and my parents arranged any camping trips we had with an extra daughter. It’s just how it was.
We were fast friends straight away, and like true friendships do, it has lasted the test of time. I’m not going to waffle on about our childhood too much, other than to say I have known her husband Colin almost as long as she has, give or take a week or so I guess. (I went on their first outing/date with them, ask Colin, I cramped his style I'm sure), but in true Colin fashion he never once made me feel like a third wheel or a pain in his arse. Everyone is welcome in Colin’s world, no one gives a hug like that man. Not a mean bone in his body.
Over the years we were in and out of each other’s lives, always seeming to just pick up where we left off, no matter if it was two days or two years, we often say we have to be friends cause we know each other’s crap.
Honesty, Colleen is honest to a fault, she will always tell you the truth, so you can be assured in business just as she is in life, she is honest. There will never be any dodgy deals with Ride Proud.
Perfectionist, oh let me tell you, I can tend to be a ‘she’ll be right; that will do’ kinda girl, not Colleen she will just keep at something until it is as perfect as she can get it, and then she will do it over again to get it better, hence all the improvements and new ideas on each pair of Ride Proud Pants. To be honest I don’t know how she deals with my slap happy attitude at times, but she does.
Loyal & Dependable? The kind of people you can call at a minute notice and just know they will move heaven and earth to help you? Completely.
I was in hospital a few years ago, I had a close call, my husband phoned to let Colleen know, her and Colin were in the car going to do heaven only knows what, but there was not a second hesitation from either of them, on the other end of the phone he was told, we will be there in half an hour. I never did ask where they were actually supposed to be.
Then while I was in hospital, Colleen brought me smoothies she made at home, because she reckoned hospital food had no nutritional value. That is the kind of people they are. After I got out of hospital with a bloody great wound on my stomach, the Equitation Pants were my go to for support if I had to go out. (Not only can you ride in them, they are fantastic for after surgery support wear)
So back to the Ride Proud Brand and the review that's not really a review.
Am I biased? Absolutely!
Am I proud of my friend? Absobloodylutely!

These. Jeans. ROCK. I now own 4 pairs of pants from this incredible company. As soon as I have someone to take some action shots, I will share photos! I feel confident again, like I can take on whatever the (horse) world throws at me, in comfort and style. In fact, when I am wearing these, I might even have what you would call “swagger”. 🔥. Thank you Ladies! - Very appreciative in the USA. 😘
I bought a pair for my daughter and I. Just amazing. Love them. Comfortable, cool, stretchy.
Horizon jean material not what I expected, it’s better. Thought they would be heavier material but they are lovely and light.
The 2 tone belt is also beautiful.
My tights have not been on a saddle yet, because I've been wearing them casually just everywhere. Smart enough to go for coffee with friends and recently I wore them in the car for a 7 hour drive. So comfortable and stretchy, I've bought a second pair. If you're between sizes, consider going down, because they mold and fit beautifully because of the stretch. Another colour please!!!!
I am so happy with my bootcut riding pants, they are without a doubt the most comfortable riding pants I have! Plenty of flexibility and a great thickness to be warm in winter and not too hot in summer.
I love all of my Ride Proud items (I have many). These pants are a nice weight for California's upcoming summer and look nice for non-horse related chores before and after barn hours. One important note - take care to follow wash instructions. Mine were laundered with good intentions by another and came out shorter in hem with puckering at pockets and leg seams. Steaming helped but sadly did not fully restore them to their original, fabulous fit.
I'll be purchasing another pair when they are back in stock!
Honestly super comfortable and hecka flattering. I'm just hoping you guys will make them in more colours, so I can revamp my whole wardrobe with them.
Happy with my purchase. Can't wait to ride in them.
Amazing fit - so comfortable and will be much cooler to ride in this summer compared to my jeans.
Pants are about 8 inches too long!!!
Rode in them this weekend at a clinic. I really liked them - no binding or uncomfortable areas. They fit big probably because of the stretch - I would suggest you size down one size because after they were worn for awhile they were quite loose.
These pants are high quality, extremely stretchy, deliciously comfortable leggings that are an English/Western fusion. They are a top notch outfit for a Western Dressage competition…
These tights are super comfy and look great. They will be nice for the warmer weather here in California.
Hi. I don't have my pants yet. I ordered the wrong size. I'm here to say I had such an easy time fixing that. My pants are already returned, and the correct size is on the way. Oh, and the pants I sent back were really good quality. I can see that they would last many years. Still a bit of a wait for my riding pants but I can't wait to take my first ride in them. Fitting saddles should be this easy.
Tried out my new bootcut tights today and they are incredible . Great fabric (light whilst still feeling substantial) , comfortable and look flattering as well. Will be getting another pair for sure !
They would have to be the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. Not only can you wear them for your equine needs but you could also wear them for your non equine needs. They are a big plus factor for my wardrobe.
