Hi
My name is Anthea Thomson, and I'd love to tell you about my ultimate test ride of my new Ride Proud riding pants!
A couple of friends and I decided that with the covid -19 restrictions which meant no campdrafting or rodeos to fill our weekends we needed to do something for our own peace of mind (sanity), we needed to get out and spend some quality time with our four legged family members, and spread the word about riding for mental health awareness and so the dream to ride the Normally extremely busy Gibb River Road was hatched!
This Road is not just a road it is a destination in its own right, a mere 660 km of mostly dirt road from start to finish, and we wanted to ride it from east (Kununurra end) to West (Derby end)
Long story short we planned to do it in the July school holidays 4th - 18th, so kids could come.
So at 1pm on the 4th July we saddled on the East side of the Pentecost River and rode across to our first camp spot at Home Valley Station, which was closed to the public due to covid, but kindly allowed us to stay, and for the next 13 days we spent many hours in the saddle, stopping to chat to people, letting kids meet the horses and my faithful dog Pip who did more k’s than all of us and of course have a ride. No we didn’t ride the whole way we did load and float some of it but most of us rode just over 387km.
The nights early mornings were very cool dropping to single figures but the days were glorious 31-34, and I can honestly say my Ride Proud Riding pants did me proud, I didn’t wear them every day but they were super comfy and great to wear in a range of weather conditions, we had lots of lovely stops where we took the horses swimming (I took my riding pants off for those moments) finishing at Meda Station on the May River Derby.
If anyone is sitting on the fence about purchasing a pair of these pants, my advice is buy them you won’t be disappointed!

I love the subtle non-horsey print. Fabric is very soft, and it does fit as expected.
I want to thank the team for their great service and help during the postal strike in Canada. Allowing me to place order and hold shipping for almost 2 months. Thank you. I have not had the opportunity to wear yet, I do love the feel of the garment and it is so well made. The workmanship is beautiful. Looking forward to the first opportunity to wear.
I have just received my tights in the mail which was delivered quickly after I placed my order. I love the feel of the fabric. I am sure that I will enjoy riding in these tights as the fit feels great. The sizing is generous. Colleen has gave wonderful customer service. 5 stars for her.
The fit is exactly like the description. Love the 4 way stretch. I have short legs so I will need to get a small hem put on them but I love them!
Had such great customer service from Ride Proud Clothing.
With the Canadian Postal Stike on and nothing moving they held onto my purchase so I could take advantage of their sale. Once they were able to ship my jeans they notified me right away to let me know they were finally on there way.
Once they arrived I had to put them on. Didn’t matter I had no where to go as the weather had turned nasty. Once on I didn’t want to take them off so I wore them around the house for the rest of the day. They are so comfortable to wear and the fit is perfect. Love how stretchy they are and how they don’t restrict your movement. These are definitely going to be my go to jeans.
Awesome fit and such beautiful fabric. Very happy with it.
Special Edition Horse Riding Pants: Savannah;👏👏👏👏💕💕👍🐴
Yep Truly to the Word. Comfortable and Good thickness for the Riders who needed that extra Good Full seat Suede Padding,
in-between the thighs.
The other Mention is Measure ya jeans straight across from the top. 👌
Double then the size chart is to me was very Accurate.. Took along time to decide on the Pair I wanted hopefully more Colours will be made in the Savannah. Belt loops Back Pockets and
Comfort, side pockets are Amazing 👏 .
Very well Designed Pair of good Thick Quality Comfortable Riding and With a full Suede seat just tops it.. 👌 👏🐴🐴👍💕😊
The Trail Gen 2 pants finally arrived yesterday. Because of the Canada Post mail strike they took much longer than expected.
The fit is pretty good. The waist is generous and I have room to wear long johns underneath for winter riding. I am 5,9” and about 145lbs. I ordered the Australian size 14 maybe could have gone with the 12? I am happy with these even though I haven’t had a chance to ride in the them yet!
I love riding on these tops! They fit beautifully, look stylish and wash well. I’m a curvy gal and struggle to find a good fit in riding tops but not any more - as soon as a new colour is launched, I order it and stock up 🤣
Love them ! Straight out of the post box! Straight on the horse ! Great to ride in!
Well made shirt. Great videos to assist in sizing. Shipped immediately.
Beautiful fit so comfortable 😍
I LOVE this beautiful well fitting top! Super smooth on my skin. I’ve already ordered a new print!!
I ride in a GP saddle and these pants are just fantastic! Very well made, fit so well and not restrictive at all. Rode with my Ariat Heritage IV Zip Paddock boots on and with these pants never once felt the stirrup leathers. in normal breeches one would have to wear chaps or tall riding boots. The suede on the backside and down the inside of the leg is also perfect, for it does not allow you to slip in a leather saddle. If you just want to keep it simple while riding and still feel comfortable and look good you cannot go past these pants!! Oh, and the pockets are all in the correct place and the perfect size for phones and ample room for keys. Thank you Ride Proud.
Love these, they are my go to pants, riding, work, outings. They just hit the mark and are so comfortable. Winning as I love a multi purpose item!💚
