Marita Hird-Nicholson - An Interview with a Humble Legend

Ride Proud Clothing has been absolutely outstanding. I managed to get my address wrong on my last order - I was in a rush to snap up a shirt before they were gone and used Shopify without checking everything. It used my daughter’s address - on the other side of the world - because that’s the last one I had used. On another order, I got my size wrong - clearly thriving here 🤦‍♀️. BUT… in both cases they fixed everything quickly and without a hint of fuss. The customer service is exceptional—friendly, responsive, and genuinely helpful. Add to that the high quality of their riding gear, and you’ve got a brand that truly delivers. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Finally—a riding shirt that understands me. Fitted without being unforgiving (a rare and beautiful thing), it somehow smooths, shapes, and flatters without putting every life choice on display. The fabric? Silky, breathable magic that works whether the weather can’t make up its mind what it wants to be - a common occurrence in Ballarat. Stylish enough to feel put-together, practical enough for real riding, and comfortable enough that I forget I’m wearing it… and the pattern is just gorgeous. Ride Proud, you’ve absolutely nailed this one.

Love these, so comfy I bought another pair!:-)

Stylish, comfortable, and a great quality fabric. Love how my pant legs do not rise up as I ride. I ordered the size associated with my hip measurement. The material has lots of stretch, especially after a ride or two, so I will size down next time for a tighter fit. I noticed some pilling on the seat area after one ride, but the fabric will hold up a long time. I’m 5’ 6” tall and had these shortened by about four inches and still have a great length over my boots. I’m looking forward to my next pair of Ride Proud riding pants.

Equitation Horse Riding Pants

This is my second orde. I loved the Stable Horizon jeans so much I had to have a second pair. I love the fit. They are fitted but not binding. They pant legs don't ride up as you ride and with in enter inseam there is no rubbing on the enter thighs.
The tops are just as comfy too. I purchased a medium the first time, it was OK. It is a little snug for my comfort. So I purchased a large this time love the fit.

These are the Second pair of riding pants purchased. As always a great fit and true to size. Lovely material and fab design. As I’m only 5’ I need to shorten them but that’s not a problem -I’m used to that. Only Took over a week to come from Australia to Uk as well-incredible. Great service overall.

Quality products, fit very very well and are a staple of my riding program. Thank you!

Compass Bootcut Tights

Super soft and a lovely pattern. It is dressy enough for dates and sturdy for barn work. It drapes beautifully and does not cling!

I'm really liking these riding shirts Colleen. Great paterna on them.😀

Pants are very comfortable to ride in. So comfortable, I ordered another pair! Only wish they came in a petite version.

A super stretchy shirt that is gorgeous and fits so well. Washes up perfectly and I get so many compliments when I wear it. So nice!

My new Favorites! Comfort all day. My only ding is that the “suede” pilled the first day. You might want to check the fabric run quality. From a retired pro seamstress.

I absolutely LOVE these pants. The fabric is great, comfortable and easy to wear.
