TRANSCRIPT:
Hi there, it's Colleen from Ride Proud. How are you? I'm good.
It's cold up here. In fact, it's been bloody freezing up here.
A funny thing happened on that this morning I was messaging with a girlfriend friend of mine who lives down on the coast and we were saying how cold it is up here at the moment and she's warmer than me down there on the coast.
And we were saying, yes, bloody freezing. And then I got a message from another businesswoman from down south and she said to me, “is it cold up there?”, me,” yeah, freezing”
And I've been telling my mate how I'm sitting here in the office and freezing. I've got an oil heater between my legs, I've got my gum, sorry, my Ugg boots on, but it is cold in here. This office is actually an old carport that we've converted to the office. So, the Roof's not insulated and it truly is cold.
But when this woman messaged me from down south and I said, yeah, it's cold. And I picked up my phone so I could tell her the temperature. It's 22 degrees even I know that's not cold.
So, I was a little bit embarrassed about whinging about the chill in the air, but that's how people in the tropics feel about the winter.
Having said that, it is absolutely stunning out there. It's a typical North Queensland winter day. It's a clear blue sky. It's magic. I can't wait to get out there this afternoon, but I'm not here to talk about the weather and you don't want to hear about it.
What I do want to talk to you about this week is what we've got going on this week. Do you know that next week is International Selfie Day? Are you into selfies? Maybe you are.
A lot of the kids are into selfies.
It's not my thing, but I absolutely love receiving your photos and I appreciate every single one that comes in. And I want to tell you about our photo galleries. Have you seen the photo galleries on the website?
If you go to the website and.
Go right down to the bottom, into the footer, you'll see some dropdown menus there. And in that menu is a photo gallery. So, we've got fantastic photo galleries in there of you guys wearing the pants. I've got one for Equitation, one for the trail, one for the trainers, one for the horizon. I want one for the limited editions. I really love that. I have got a couple of photos there. If women were in limited editions, I'd love more. So, what I want you to do, please, is to send me your photos for next week. Send me your photos now. So, there are a couple of ways to do it. You can email them to me, you can go to the website and there's a little message bubble on there. You can click on that and send me a photo. There this is what I really love you to do. You can load them straight to the Facebook page or Instagram and tag us. If you just tag me with Ride.
Proud clothing, you'll have to use the three words because otherwise I won't.
It doesn't tag our page. I would love you to do that. And what I'm going to do, let's give it a week. Yes, maybe this time next week I'd love you to continue to do it. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to pick up all the ones that have tagged us or sent photos in between now and Wednesday. Next week selfie day is Tuesday, the 21 June. So up until the end of the 21 June, I'm going to go through them all and I'm going to pick one photo that I love. I love them all. I'm going to pick one photo and I'm going to send that person a gift. I don't know what it will be.
I'm actually waiting delivery of a fantastic new product.
Maybe I'll send one of those.
I'll think about it.
I'll think about what I'm going to send, but there'll be a gift in there for somebody who sends me photos. So please give it some thought. I really do appreciate it. And the other thing is, it's actually really helpful for other women to prospective.
Customers find it really helpful.
Sometimes I get photos, so I get emails from women who say, I really like the look of the pants, but I just don't know if they'll suit me. I'm not the same body shape or size as your models. Have you got any other photos? And what I'm able to do now is just flick them a link to that Gallery of all of the women wearing that particular style and they flick through it and they can see if they identify with any of those women. The other thing I get asked is I have a chestnut horse. Will that colour suit me? Is that colour a good choice?
And so, I'm able to say, well.
Have a look through, see what you think. So that's what I want to talk.
To you about today.
Something else I can tell you about is do you remember the blog?
How could you forget?
We sent the blog out last week.

These tights are super comfy and look great. They will be nice for the warmer weather here in California.
Hi. I don't have my pants yet. I ordered the wrong size. I'm here to say I had such an easy time fixing that. My pants are already returned, and the correct size is on the way. Oh, and the pants I sent back were really good quality. I can see that they would last many years. Still a bit of a wait for my riding pants but I can't wait to take my first ride in them. Fitting saddles should be this easy.
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!!
