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!

I am tall, the length is perfection. I was sceptical of how they'd fit as unisex fit, they're so comfortable just to wear walking around, brilliant to ride in, they stay up without a belt, no constantly hitching up jeans which most stretch jeans do in my experience. Thank you!!!
Love the material and feel. Excellent design.
In the US and received my order very quickly. Shirts are perfect. Several compliments the first time I wore them.
Colleen's fun video sold me, but the patterns are even better in person! Very nice fabric and fun to wear.
I really do like these pants. They are really comfortable for riding, the pockets hold my large I phone perfectly. I love the top stitching and the fabric is oh so stretchy.
They came to the USA quickly.
I wish they came in different lengths because for a 5’4” inch lady they are really long. I had to hem them up a lot.
This shirt is beautiful, goes with lots of different pant and jacket colors, and fits great, came quickly to the USA. I am very happy with this product. It is my second order with RP. Looking forward to more beautiful options in the future.
I’ve been trying for ever to find the perfect riding pants. I can finally say that I have! These pants are so well made and functional but most importantly they fit perfectly! The blouse is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you Colleen for designing these and actually considering what is important in riding apparel! I will be purchasing more!
I love my Ride Proud jeans. I have waited until I have worn them several times. These jeans are so comfortable that they do not pinch in a spook or they don't creep around during a perfect teeter totter obatacle.
The most beautiful riding pants and shirt I’ve ever seen. Worth twice the price.
Arrived quickly and is high quality. Quite long in the sleeves - I'll have to shorten.
The Compass Bootcut Tights are so very comfortable and flattering and have plenty of length. I'm long legged too! Also, I typically cannot stand to wear high waisted jeans/pants, but the Compass Bootcut Tights did not bother me at all. And finally, I was able to ride in my english saddle without 1/2 chaps and the tights did not ride up on my lower leg.
Thank you for the bonus socks too!
Love your shirts..great fit, comfortable material and long sleeves that really are long. Kaleidoscope is so vibrant!
Hi just wanted to say thank you! I received my order, the Stable horizons jeans and the compass tights with a lovely free belt. I’m so happy with the fit, so comfortable! And best of all they are long enough!!! I have long legs (44” from hip to heal) so struggle with finding pants long enough for me. They are perfect 👌 I am always looking for good quality smart looking jeans to wear for work that are rugged enough to handle the conditions. When I’m not riding my horses I’m at work taking quad bike tours, I get filthy as you can imagine. These pants are perfect for both horse riding and quad bikes, they are definitely going to be my favourites 💙🖤 pretty sure I’ll be ordering more. 😊
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
