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 absolutely love these jeans!! Nothing like these in the uk, great fit and so comfy
I absolutely love the colours in this shirt. Can't wait to wear it when I get back riding this spring (I am Canadian 😊).
I was able to ride a few times since I got these new riding pants. First, I love the heavy duty material and comfy, stretchy feel.
I got two different pant sizes to be safe coming from the other side of the world so that one would fit. One fits perfectly and the other slightly bigger. I feel if I want to in the wintertime I can wear terminals under them. I live in a cold climate. Thank you for a wonderful product! I love them! (But when I filled out the forms for the free belt bonus, I did not receive it in my package.)
I haven’t ridden in the tights yet (horse has eye injury) but love the fabric and the cut and styling. I think I am in between sizing, purchased the Sml but the fabric was way too loose in the thigh and knee (I have skinny chicken legs)! The exchange process was dealt with quickly and smoothly and I tried the Xs - these fit great everywhere, only the waistband is a bit tight but I think that will change with more wear. Very comfortable to wear around the property, they look great, I am taking them with me to Scotland this week for some pony trekking. Ride Proud are a friendly and approachable company who are selling a quality product. Great socks as well. Thankyou Colleen for your wonderful customer service!
Last week I received my new pair of Equitation Pants. I had one of those before, and they're still my favourite among the different options. However, I hadn't expected to be soooo happy (again). First ride was in a little competition, and I think they even boosted my confidence (we got ten ribbons!).
Blouse is beautiful, jeans are stretchy and super comfortable.
I am short and had to hem my Tights. Worth it. They fit great while simply sliding on. Love the material, and the stitching is great!
The change from wearing breeches to riding trousers has been difficult. Apart from dragging over your thighs, the riding jeans have been brilliant. The stretch material reduces the drag when mounting; the soft material means all day comfort. The suede is equally light and not bulky, but does its stickability job quietly. It is subtle, allowing for the jeans to be worn casually.
The stretch waist band is a winner. Unfortunately, my small waist means a belt must be worn so the waist band buckles at the back.
I will definitely purchase a second pair when I do not feel guilty - I now have 5 pairs of Ride Proud trousers!!!!
Absolutely love my shirts! They are so well made, fantastic fit and beautiful patterns. I also love how the logo is hidden amongst the patterns. Well done Colleen. You should be so proud of the product you sell. 😊
Wow I absolutely love these riding pants, the most comfortable and stylish riding pants I’ve ever owned, nothing else like them here in the UK, ladies if you want comfort, flattering fit and versatility treat yourself, I LOVE mine
The Savannah Special Edition pants are so comfortable! Stylish in the Olive green so many compliments! I rode in them for a 6 hours trail ride on Mt Nungar NSW, with no rub or discomfort.
Highly recommend!
Thanks Colleen x
I ordered the New Horizon Jeans and the Trainers pants in size 8 (USA size 4). The fit is amazing and really feels good in the saddle! Love the side pockets for my cell phone! Stands to reason these were designed by a horsewoman. Form to function at its best!
I am tall, the length is perfection. I was sceptical of how they'd fit as unisex fit, they're so comfortable just to wear walking around, brilliant to ride in, they stay up without a belt, no constantly hitching up jeans which most stretch jeans do in my experience. Thank you!!!
Love the material and feel. Excellent design.
In the US and received my order very quickly. Shirts are perfect. Several compliments the first time I wore them.
