Marita Hird-Nicholson - An Interview with a Humble Legend

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.

Colleen's fun video sold me, but the patterns are even better in person! Very nice fabric and fun to wear.

I really do like these pants. They are really comfortable for riding, the pockets hold my large I phone perfectly. I love the top stitching and the fabric is oh so stretchy.
They came to the USA quickly.
I wish they came in different lengths because for a 5’4” inch lady they are really long. I had to hem them up a lot.

This shirt is beautiful, goes with lots of different pant and jacket colors, and fits great, came quickly to the USA. I am very happy with this product. It is my second order with RP. Looking forward to more beautiful options in the future.

I’ve been trying for ever to find the perfect riding pants. I can finally say that I have! These pants are so well made and functional but most importantly they fit perfectly! The blouse is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Colleen for designing these and actually considering what is important in riding apparel! I will be purchasing more!
