Be honest, did our name seem a bit odd when you first heard it
Or maybe it immediately made perfect sense?
Here's an explanation of what the name Ride Proud means.
Everything, or nothing. In our case, it's everything. But you'll come to know that I don't do much without it having meaning or purpose.
For as long as I've ridden, I've worked on developing my seat; as my primary aid, it's the start of everything. (Hint: that's why our pants don't have back pockets).
I've studied it, I've researched it, I've done courses, clinics and lessons on it. Hell, I've travelled across the world to participate in clinics focusing on it. I've read and watched almost everything I can, and I've observed.
My findings?
To me, the most effective, most elegant and most admired riders all share a particular posture – and that posture is proud.
When I was instructing and correcting position, I would sometimes hear myself say 'ride proud''. I've found that when a rider can take that proud feeling into her body, her seat immediately improves.
I know, it's simplistic, but sometimes the best things are, aren't they?

This is a photo of me riding at a clinic in Europe a couple of years back. Yep, I'm bareback and on the lunge, and I'll take every opportunity I can to be lunged. It's so good for improving the seat.
Here's a challenge (or maybe it's not). Organise with a friend to ride bareback and on the lunge. Maybe you can take turns. I'd love to hear how it goes.

Love the top, great service and even speedier than predicted
I’m 5’11” and finding nice riding shirts with long enough sleeves is not easy. I bought the Kaleidoscope button up and the Empress quarter zip and they both got great comments when I wore them! Even more importantly, *I* felt great in them! Thank you!
This is my second pair of the BEST riding pants! I love the fit and durable figure friendly material. I highly recommend.
The free gift did not arrive in the shipment but no matter! The pants are what I was looking forward to!
The comfort of the Gen 2 riding pants is tops compared to any other pant that I have ridden in. My lower back hurts me when I ride in jeans. With the Gen 2 pant there is no pressure. The cut of the suede seat is very flattering to a mature woman's shape and we can always use that. When wearing this outfit I feel put together, pretty, and ready for whatever the day will bring
Great service and nice to know I can swap clothes if I got size wrong.
Bought a gorgeous empress riding top. Its lovely and awesome service, thank you so much
My Riding Shirt in Empress is to dress for success!!!! Lots of “ohhhh where’d you get that?!!! Love it!!!” stateside. It fits beautifully, doesn’t cling on the back side, and I find I sit perhaps a bit taller in my saddle riding my fiery chestnut mare. Well done Ride Proud and, thank you!
I just bought my second pair of Legends. Not because my first pair is worn after two years of hard use, but because I want a second pant to change to for consecutive days of riding.
After such hard use the pant is as good as new except for the color in the places where the pant are touching saddle and horse and after countless times of being run in the washer.
The pant is very comfortable to wear both on the ground and in the saddle. And enough pockets to keep all the EDC items safe.
As a male rider there are not many good alternative's out there except for regular jeans, so this is what I recommend for all riders. And I regularly get compliments for having a good looking riding pants!
I just received this riding top. I have not had a chance to wear it yet, since it is too hot right now. I did try it on and it fits perfectly. The material is lightweight, but still very substantial and high quality. It looked amazing with black breeches and it will get a lot of use in the cooler months. I also bought one to gift to a friend who helps me groom at shows. It's a perfect one of kind gift.
As an English rider who does not like tall boots or even half chaps, I was thrilled to find Ride Proud pants, even if it meant shipping them from half way around the world (actually the shipping cost is super reasonable.) Kerrits and Irideon bootcuts are tight and the fabrics are thin, and to try to find any bootcut that doesn't have silicone is getting harder and harder to do. Enter Ride Proud. They have a substantial fabric weight, a suede full seat, and a generous inseam. Even better for my not-pear body type is that they fit in the waist as well as in the hips/thighs.
Customer service is phenomenal. This really is a business run by the owner.
My first purchase from Ride Proud didn't work out because the rise in the pants was too high. But some "mid-rise" offerings appeared, and they work great for me. Which brings me to two suggestions: since many of the styles of pants have nearly identical features, I'd love to see a chart developed for easy reference as to the differences. It would list features like fabric weight, pocket style, rise, fit (relaxed or slim), grip level, waistband style, etc., on one axis and the model of pant on the other axis, with checked boxes - or something that. The other suggestion would be to show an example of every color each pant comes in in the description, so there is no guesswork. These things would help customers to feel more confident in their purchases.
To sum up: Hallelujah for Ride Proud!
I loved this print but was worried how it would fit. You’re always taking a chance buying a new product online. Well, I wasn’t disappointed. This shirt is beautiful and the fit is perfect! I’m 5’4” and 130 lbs. and the medium was great! Not too big and not too tight! Everything about it was just right!
I spend a lot of time conditioning horses on trail. I love the full suede grip seat (super sticky for those unexpected spooks), the underfoot keeper keeps the pant leg from riding up and bunching at your knee, plenty of pockets, easy fasten at the waist band, and belt loops if you like riding with a belt. The pant withstands inevitable brush snags and do not tear like riding tights. They do stretch quite a bit with wear and I seem to be between sizes - the smaller size is a bit snug at waist and the next size up needs a belt to stay on. I’m an endurance rider and haven’t tried them on 25/50 miles yet, but I love them for conditioning rides!!

I admit this stunning print seduced me immediately upon seeing it in an Ad. The top is stunning, quality fabric, construction & zip. A classic easy wash & wear piece -all boxes ticked for me. I look forward to purchasing your trousers next! Just brilliant, highly recommended. Thank you
Absolutely stunning bundle of Heritage Jeans and Riding Top in earthly tones. So so comfy I am wearing them other places. I have to say speedy to arrive and blown away to discover a free pair of socks. I am telling my friends these are the best - go shop!!!! This is where I choose to buy my riding gear. They have it nailed.
