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.

I now have six of Ride Proud's lovely sihirts. Does that make me a collector? Hoarder? Whatever. I love them all - they're well constructed, silky soft against my skin, launder like a dream, and don't fade in the sun. What's not to love?
I love the new High Country pants, the denim is lovely and cool to ride in, very flexible fit, and wow the silicon dots are a game changer, I’m converted from the suede seat to the silicon dots all the way, from ranch riding to western dressage to trail riding, these pants are it in my opinion you just can’t get any better!!
Each time a try different pair of ride proud pants I say " this is the best pair yet " Well now I say oh my goodness could a pair of denim pants get anymore comfortable. Plus they are very stylish!!! I have decided to save this pair for dress, not just riding. Now I am thinking seriously of trying this same pant with silicone.
These trail riding pants are phenomenal! They fit me like a glove and are comfortable in the saddle and for barn chores and grocery runs as well! They are very well made with all the important things for riding carefully and beautifully executed in these amazing pants! I have had my eye on these for quite some time and I don’t know why I waited so long to order them! I’m so glad I did and I will likely be going back for more! Many thanks to Colleen and all at Ride Proud for getting these trail pants just right!
The shirt and pants are amazingly comfortable and superior quality, highly recommend. The customer service is also amazing - 10/10.
Thank you Colleen for your follow up on my order delay, it is appreciated! I couldn’t wait to wear my new riding shirt! Though I’m currently recovering from knee replacement, I’m not back in the tack yet, so I wore it to my physical therapy session! Also thanks for the socks you threw in! Sincerely, Stephanie in Arizona!
Good quality.
These bootcut tights arrived today. When I opened the package and saw the fabric, I knew this was going to be a keeper! The fabric is a totally different quality and texture than traditional riding breeches or jods; a thicker weight which will make these perfect for fall and winter riding here in the southern United States. The fit is perfect with a little more room in the thighs and seat and the wide, non-roll waistband is superb. I can’t wait to saddle up on a cool fall day and hack out in these oh so comfortable riding tights.
I bought these for a Globetrotter tour along the east side of the Canadian Rocky Mountains. One day we climbed, then descended, about a 1000 metres vertical.
I felt really secure doing it in the Trail Gen 2 Pants! The fit is very supportive and flattering (I’m 68).
While they got dusty and dirty on the trails, I could just brush off with my hands at the end of the day and continue on to the dining room.
We started with near freezing temperatures in the morning and ended with lovely warm afternoons. The pants regulated really well keeping me comfortable throughout the days.
I highly recommend!
I have been saving this pair of ride proud pants for a special occasion. The air was crisp and the fall colors were a blaze. Out I went a riding in my very special pants. I was not disappointed. They made me feel special. Not only are they very classy looking but the comfort is unbelievable.I can move easily in the saddle but have the security of the suede on my seat and legs. I am so happy to have found Ride Proud. I can no longer make myself wear a standard pair of jeans riding. I now have 4 pairs of their pants, and 2 compass pair. Needless to say I am their biggest fan
Very comfortable, extremely well made & superb quality - what else to say!
Beautiful
Love the shirt and the large fits perfectly.
Comfortable and fits well. Almost too nice to wear in a barn! Only hesitancy for reordering is the tax payable on arrival in Canada
These shirts are awesome - stretchy, great colours, versatile & perfectly crafted. Colleen is great to work with giving sound advice because she knows her products. She is generous with her time and advises honestly. I highly recommend Ride Proud for products to wear when riding as well as on the ground!
