My thoughts on Ride Proud and the People behind it.
This is not really a review, or maybe it is, let’s just see where it goes and you can take it how you see it. What I am trying to do is give insight into the kind of person/people you are dealing with when you purchase from Ride Proud Clothing.
I have known Colleen since childhood, I think we were maybe 5 or 6 years old. A long time! Our first day at school in fact, so I reckon I know her pretty well. Lots of school holidays in and out of each other’s home. Her Mother just expected me to be around I was the extra daughter in her family, and my parents arranged any camping trips we had with an extra daughter. It’s just how it was.
We were fast friends straight away, and like true friendships do, it has lasted the test of time. I’m not going to waffle on about our childhood too much, other than to say I have known her husband Colin almost as long as she has, give or take a week or so I guess. (I went on their first outing/date with them, ask Colin, I cramped his style I'm sure), but in true Colin fashion he never once made me feel like a third wheel or a pain in his arse. Everyone is welcome in Colin’s world, no one gives a hug like that man. Not a mean bone in his body.
Over the years we were in and out of each other’s lives, always seeming to just pick up where we left off, no matter if it was two days or two years, we often say we have to be friends cause we know each other’s crap.
Honesty, Colleen is honest to a fault, she will always tell you the truth, so you can be assured in business just as she is in life, she is honest. There will never be any dodgy deals with Ride Proud.
Perfectionist, oh let me tell you, I can tend to be a ‘she’ll be right; that will do’ kinda girl, not Colleen she will just keep at something until it is as perfect as she can get it, and then she will do it over again to get it better, hence all the improvements and new ideas on each pair of Ride Proud Pants. To be honest I don’t know how she deals with my slap happy attitude at times, but she does.
Loyal & Dependable? The kind of people you can call at a minute notice and just know they will move heaven and earth to help you? Completely.
I was in hospital a few years ago, I had a close call, my husband phoned to let Colleen know, her and Colin were in the car going to do heaven only knows what, but there was not a second hesitation from either of them, on the other end of the phone he was told, we will be there in half an hour. I never did ask where they were actually supposed to be.
Then while I was in hospital, Colleen brought me smoothies she made at home, because she reckoned hospital food had no nutritional value. That is the kind of people they are. After I got out of hospital with a bloody great wound on my stomach, the Equitation Pants were my go to for support if I had to go out. (Not only can you ride in them, they are fantastic for after surgery support wear)
So back to the Ride Proud Brand and the review that's not really a review.
Am I biased? Absolutely!
Am I proud of my friend? Absobloodylutely!

Lovely comfortable fit
Love them. A great fit and very comfortable with great support.
These are really high quality and fit my ‘plus sized’ person in a really flattering way. I will definitely be ordering another pair (or 2!)
I just received my order and couldn’t be more pleased. These pants are so comfortable and I am looking forward to wearing/riding with them. I also have other styles that are equally as great. Wonderfully efficient company to work with too.
Beautiful fit just wish my legs were longer at 5’2’’ everything too long but fantastic delivery time and presentation really nice
I love these, the relaxed fit makes them very comfy!
I love these tights. They fit so well, are very comfortable and flexible. However, without a full seat they are too slippery to ride in. I had a friend try them, as well, just to be sure. Too slippery with a western saddle. Very disappointed they did not work out.
I love these pants! The fit is perfect and they look great.
I just received my trainers horse riding pants and absolutely love them. They fit very well and are so comfortable. I can't wait to ride in them. I am very happy to have pockets that my cell phone fits in!
Really like them - nice and stretchy, I even wear them shopping.
So good to have a bootcut jodhpur! I also like the fact they don’t have silicone grips as I will use these trail riding and I like to have the option for a full range of movement.
Still the best ever riding jeans
Nice long cosy socks
Received in Canada in one week! RideProud service has been excellent. This review is for the brown trainers. I also have the horizons and a limited edition pair., but have only worn the trainers on a ride thus far as my purchase is recent. These are well made pants. Sizing as per sizing chart is great and they went on easily. The pants fit high rise which I am happy for. No muffin top. I do need a belt as they will sag in crotch a bit if I don’t. Probably could have sized down but then not sure if that would affect the comfort level. The trainers I think will be my favourite. The limited I sized up. Definitely loose but the fit is relaxed. The horizons were a size down from the trainers and fit great. I prefer the style of the trainers a wee better with the narrower flare at the bottom. They still go over my western boot no problem. The elastic keeper for your foot creates a nice stack. Eventually may get other colours.
Received my Trail Gen pants in grey and they look and feel fabulous! Also got their water bottle and a swanky hat. 😉 Who’s looking cute at the barn? Oh yeah - ME!! #ridingproud
