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!

When you get to my age, stealing a line from 90's pip songs is a test of memory but so fitting for this shirt. I'd seen Col wearing it, loved it and now I own it - and it does not disappoint!
Buttery soft, structured but stretchy, forgiving but fashionable and the absolute riot of colours and shapes made me smile as I opened the ever immaculately presented parcel.
This shirt makes a statement, and for me it says that I am old enough to disregard opnions on what is "suitable", strong enough to wear something that makes my heart sing and young enough to delight in the playfulness this shirt embodies.
It is going to get its perfect partnering with my Compass RIde Tights although, as autumn hits with a vengeance here in Tasmania, perhaps with thermal underneath!
Excellent
These are the best riding pants made, hands down. And they last and last through thick and thin. Thank you!
Love my new clothes. Great quality
Fit is great, would like another pair the same
Great quality, exchange process was seamless. Thanks for being so responsive!
The fit is great, and they are comfortable. The only negative I have is that the length is a bit too long. I am 5' 2" (157.48 cm), I will most likely have them hemmed. Otherwise they are good quality and I am happy with them.
Beautiful shirt, great fit, love it!
Oh my, these are far better than what I was expecting. Beautiful material and they fit like a glove. I have a biggish tummy and struggle with fitting and comfort, but I don't have to worry about that with these
I just love my new Aurora shirt, It is really comfortable & fits really well
Everybody has commented on the design & I want to wear it every time I am out riding
So I am going to need more & will put the new Kaleidoscope at the top of the list.
Received the trail pants yesterday, rode in them today, very comfortable and a great fit. Thank you
Really comfortable riding jeans. Sizing is great, comfy waist, plenty of stretch, lots of grip in the saddle. They just feel good on!
These are by far the best riding jeans. They are so comfortable and have a flattering fit. They are soft and stretchy but durable. Colleen, at Ride Proud, was great to work with so I had the right size and style. Thank you ride proud for such a great product.
I am love the Aurora riding shirt.
The fit is perfect it is so soft and comfortable, and the design is stunning.
The entire skirt is very well made.
The sleeves are long for riding and the fit around the hips is flattering for mature figure.
Looks so dressy with the Compass Bootcut Tights
Fast Shipping and customer service goes above and beyond.
I am absolutely thrilled with the Kaleidoscope riding shirt. It is so hard to not live in it. The fit is perfect it is so soft and comfortable, and the design is stunning.
The entire skirt is very well made. The sleeves are long for riding and the fit around the hips is flattering for mature figure. I like that the sleeves on the shirt tuck up under the wrist neatly for going to town when the extra length in not required.
I have been wearing this for going to town and appointments. Looks so dressy with the Compass Bootcut Tights. I like that the sleeves on the shirt tuck up to neatly for going to town when the extra length in sleeves not required.
Colleen recently shared this expression with me “straight to the poolroom!”
Everyone in Australia knows it from an old movie called the Castle. It is where all the best stuff goes. For me, this skirt falls in this category the best stuff.
