Women Dominate.
Let me clarify that. They dominate in numbers, at equestrian events.
Let me add a little disclaimer. Except perhaps at rodeo and cattle events.
Probably not jodhpurs. Not the ones in my circle anyway, and not yours either I’d suggest. However, they probably found themselves in jodhpurs of some description, or jeans because of the lack of an alternative.
I’ll go one step further and say, she’s not looking for ‘fashion’ either.
I'd suggest that she already knows exactly who she is (and who she isn’t), and that includes knowing her own style. She’s done with fashion, and let’s face it, most equestrian wear is designed with women somewhat younger in mind. Flick through any magazine and you’ll see it for yourself.
I know from research (and my own experience) that first and foremost she’s looking for functional riding pants, without compromising on style or comfort. Riding pants that are flattering and can be worn to her own personal style. And she wants quality.
She’s done keeping up with trends and her focus is on her horsemanship and riding.
She also wants practicality. She wants to dress for the day and be dressed for the day, not have to change into jodhpurs to ride and change out of them to go to the shops or meet her friends for coffee.
So, what’s the equestrian fashion industry doing for these women?
Not a lot really. We’re often overlooked.
Why? We want you to be able to use your Riding Pants as a fashion basic and consider them the equestrian equivalent of your little black dress. Dress them up, or dress them down.
And what to team them with?I mentioned above it was my belief (my observation?) that the majority of these women were matured aged and they (me being one of them) were my focus. The truth is, we create our own truths and support it with information bias. Sometimes anyway and it seems that what I did, or perhaps I just made an assumption.
A few good years of trading, conversations and not to mention stats tells me that my first thoughts were wrong or confining at least.
It’s not just mature aged women wanting more from their riding gear; who aren’t happy or comfortable in their joddies or (traditional) jeans and are seeking an alternative. It turns out there are quite a number of strong young women who already know their mind, and style and are choosing our Bootleg Jodhpurs as their alternative. Who'd have thought.
Well, I should have. We should have! In many cases, we raised them.
I stand corrected.
Girls, (no, Women!), I'm cheering for you.

I just love my new Aurora shirt, It is really comfortable & fits really well
Everybody has commented on the design & I want to wear it every time I am out riding
So I am going to need more & will put the new Kaleidoscope at the top of the list.
Received the trail pants yesterday, rode in them today, very comfortable and a great fit. Thank you
Really comfortable riding jeans. Sizing is great, comfy waist, plenty of stretch, lots of grip in the saddle. They just feel good on!
These are by far the best riding jeans. They are so comfortable and have a flattering fit. They are soft and stretchy but durable. Colleen, at Ride Proud, was great to work with so I had the right size and style. Thank you ride proud for such a great product.
I am love the Aurora riding shirt.
The fit is perfect it is so soft and comfortable, and the design is stunning.
The entire skirt is very well made.
The sleeves are long for riding and the fit around the hips is flattering for mature figure.
Looks so dressy with the Compass Bootcut Tights
Fast Shipping and customer service goes above and beyond.
I am absolutely thrilled with the Kaleidoscope riding shirt. It is so hard to not live in it. The fit is perfect it is so soft and comfortable, and the design is stunning.
The entire skirt is very well made. The sleeves are long for riding and the fit around the hips is flattering for mature figure. I like that the sleeves on the shirt tuck up under the wrist neatly for going to town when the extra length in not required.
I have been wearing this for going to town and appointments. Looks so dressy with the Compass Bootcut Tights. I like that the sleeves on the shirt tuck up to neatly for going to town when the extra length in sleeves not required.
Colleen recently shared this expression with me “straight to the poolroom!”
Everyone in Australia knows it from an old movie called the Castle. It is where all the best stuff goes. For me, this skirt falls in this category the best stuff.
I just got the Aurora shirt. It is such a beautiful pattern. Love the fabric. It made it to the US in a timely fashion. Highly recommend.
I was so excited when the Ride Proud jeans fit like a glove. They aren’t too squeezey. I love the fit and the grip in the saddle. I think I’m going to need a backup pair!
These are the best "tights" I have ever had. They are more than tights, but just as comfortable. I wear these with EVERYTHING. They are just the right weight, heavier than tights, but not too heavy. They have STYLE! I will be buying more.
Of course a horseWOMAN would figure it out. These are the best jeans ever! SUPER comfortable, and all the design details make perfect sense. Won't be wearing anything else from now on.
I love the quality of these pants and the fit is great. I normally wear an 8 US size but I had to go up to the 12 US. The Length is to long, But easily hymned up.
These pants trim in at your waist and are adjustable in the small of your back. This makes the rise of the pants perfect for high waisted and tall riders. The inseam length is longer than often offered. The feel of the material, both the full seat and the pant is awesome!
Having spent half the night googling for the pants I imagined to no avail delighted the next morning when Ride Proud popped up on my feed showing the Trainer pants - I quickly ordered. Luckily too large ahh then taking more time to actually browse I spied the Equestrian pants even more perfect - can’t wait for April when in stock Colleen! Thank you so much photos will follow when received!
These pants exceeded my expectations, I’m very happy with them. Love the fit, love the suede, love everything about them! Thank you so much!
great color and great materal

Had to smile at your blog. Yes age does seem to be out there. and us mums seem to forget that our kids are no longer kids LOL. Had an interesting conversation with a male in January. He was teaching horsemanship. Very good at what he does. All females in the group !! asked him if had any thoughts of it and he said. " men either know it all or won’t admit that they may just learn something new. " could be right there. enjoyed what you wrote. lov me pants. cant wait for my next parcel to arrive. Carey.
