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!

these pants are very well made. For the weather in No California the weight is perfect; might be too hot for summer and fall.
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THIS SHIRT FITS PERFFECTLY.
So comfy! High waist so they support my core.
Love these socks, so comfortable and perfect for All my boots and are now a staple.
I also enjoy the conversation starter about my ‘left & right’ sock when non horsey people see them 😂
Well I received my pair of Special edition horse riding pants Savannah and yes to say I am over the moon with them would be an understatement. I have wore them and they are the most comfortable pair of pants. I am looking forward to testing them out in the saddle but I have no doubt they will be as comfortable in the saddle as they are to wear to town. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love these, wore them for a clinic day recently, and now lots of my students will be making purchases too!
Will definitely buy more 😊😊
The material of the Aurora shirt is very similar to that of my previous favourite shirts from Black Horse (before they closed down). So glad to have found these beautiful, cool and lightweight shirts! Colleen is wonderful!
The RP pants I purchased are so comfortable to ride in. We do a lot of mustering and hard riding, no rubbing or pant legs riding up. I am nearly 6ft and the length and overall fit just fabulous. Thank you
Riding pants designed with comfort as a priority. I wished for maximum enjoyment on long rides with my favourite trail mount and you have delivered exactly that.
These are wonderful socks and just the right thickness and cushion for inside my boots. Fun design too!
GORGEOUS color! Great fit. Love the back pocket on this style. Ride Proud pants are my favorite to wear (I have nearly every style). Thank you for designing these, Colleen!
You'll love these as soon as you put them on! So comfy, stretchy and I love the high waist too keep my peri-belly in. Did a ride in them this morning and seriously there was no pulling, or cutting into my waist or thighs. Just great! Got them in black and will be going back to get the green ones shortly!
