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.

Tried out my new bootcut tights today and they are incredible . Great fabric (light whilst still feeling substantial) , comfortable and look flattering as well. Will be getting another pair for sure !
They would have to be the most comfortable pair of pants I have ever worn. Not only can you wear them for your equine needs but you could also wear them for your non equine needs. They are a big plus factor for my wardrobe.
I consulted with Colleen before purchasing and she helped me find the perfect fit (just needed a hem). They are very comfortable while riding, durable enough to wear around my dairy farm, and flattering enough to wear out on the town. I already want a second pair!
I love the quality of these pants. They are so nicely made. I am wearing them around the house this week to see how much they stretch out. Thanks for these!
Ive been riding for more than 50 years now and these pants are the best pants I have ever come across. The material is fabulous. Construction is solid and feminizing. They fit true to size. Im very very pleased!
My order is currently in Miami awaiting transfer. Last info available Friday, April 12.
My RideProud jeans are just awesome. I finally have a pair of comfortable, flattering pants that don't ride up. I ride in cowboy boots which are too tall to make use of the under foot stirrup--but it didn't matter, the pants did not ride up. Yay!
I am delighted with my Equitation riding pants. They fit perfectly, are exceptionally well detailed and tailored and I was really pleased that the suede goes right to the hem..The high waist is wonderful( nearly all breeches / jodhpurs seem to be cut so low these days…)Colleen’s advice and help were great…I know I will be buying another pair in future!
So last year I bought 2 x 7PM Scoop Tees; blue & green. Wore them through one of the hottest summers endured in Perth, ever…2023/24.
These Tees are cool & comfortable, allowing good airflow around arms, neckline & body, so of course I completed the set by more recently purchasing the soft pink. 😁
Great quality, colour, fit. Nice to find a pair of riding pants that feel as sturdy as jeans but more flex and not as thin as jodhs. Superb. Thank you
Hello. You enclosed a card asking for feedback on my purchase (Horizon jeans). I don’t normally do this, but I am so impressed that I feel the need to tell you how impressed I am! 🙂 These were so thoughtfully designed for horse people. The deep pockets (my favorite feature), the inseam, and the heel loop make these jeans absolutely PERFECT for riding. They are true to size, fit like a glove, are cut nicely, and are the perfect length. I’m never wearing my Wranglers again. I’m recommending these to my horsie friends. I’ll be a repeat customer!
I adore my versatile Compass Bootcut Tights from Ride Proud. They are perfect for both riding and casual wear, so I frequently wear them around town. Featuring flattering design, comfort, and belt loops, they never fail to impress. It's amusing to see people's surprise when they discover these are my horse pants ♥️
So I had a secret mission to take these pants and ride ride ride! Well guess what I rode so much I dropped 2 dress sizes! I undertook my mission to test these Pants like a duck to water as they fitted like a glove and felt wonderful when on and looked really hot! I was receiving compliments from everyone what are you wearing and where do I buy them! They are super smooth on the skin, flexible stretchy comfy and do not rub! The boot leg makes you feel like you are a bit glamorous and not wearing a legging and I have honestly warn these pants everywhere including the golf course where I got a “where can I buy them!”. They are not to hot for summer riding but keep you warm it’s like riding in your favourite pj’s 😂 you feel comfortable and relaxed but look super smart and have boot leg to go over your boots! It’s like pulling on your favourite tracksuit pants and then being able to do chores and ride in them without having to get changed! I’ve even warn them to the pub after a ride and they don’t look out of place because they are so versatile and look so good. The best thing is at the end of the day in front of the camp fire you can curl up in them so they are the ultimate riding pant that can go anywhere and do anything. You can jazz them up with a shirt and look super smart. There hasn’t been a pant like this on the market before and I’m so excited to own these! Colleen has created a masterpiece and I love them!!
Awesome fit
I looked and looked for pants like these in the United States, to no avail, and I am thrilled with these riding pants, as they check all the boxes! Full seat, bootcut, belt loops, side pockets (that are stylish, not bulky), and great color options! The material is high quality that is very comfortable to wear both in the saddle and around town. They get great compliments from my fellow horsey friends too!
