Did you know we have photo galleries on our website? We have one for each style and if you have a pair of Ride Proud Pants I'd love be received a photo for the gallery.
There's a chance to win a mystery prize too. Listen in and I'll tell you about it.
Stay to the end to hear about something exciting coming up too.

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.
About our confidence tips that Sue Franks wrote for us.These are my new 'go to' pants. LOVE them!
Nice pants…will see how long they last. They feel good so just hoping they are worth the cost and tariff to import. Will take a bit to find out.
Great fabric, flattering look and feels so good on the skin. Pants have a great fit with a flattering look and support
A touch of class when adding a shirt
Can ride in these all day , no problem
And let’s face it , a classy look to go to town
☺️
Colleen and crew offer great service. Sizes Trainers Horse Riding Pants run larger than expected and return the for the right size was seamless. Now I have them in the right size they feel excellent to wear. Thanks to everyone at Rise Proud.
I bought these Compass Bootcut Tights with some trepidation... I'm a weird shaped shortie & not many off the rack clothes suit me but the moment I tried them on I went straight back online & bought them in the black as well!! They're comfortable, fit well (except for the 30cms I need taken off the leg length🙊) GREAT material!! Seriously couldn't be happier🎉👏👏
Unfortunately I think Muppet here should have ordered a size smaller.🙄
Do you do these jeans in size 6.
I love the stretch in the material but thinking after some major use in saddle and motorbike they will stretch a little and I could end up with a saggy Arse!
😁
Haven’t gone riding in them yet but they fit me well, I sized one down from my measurements and just sitting on my dirt bike they are comfy. Can’t wear my cowgirl boots with them as the underfoot keeper doesn’t allow for them up the leg but my other boots will fit under there. I’ll be recommending them to my mates for sure.
I wore my horse motif riding top at a clinic and received many complimentary comments.
I am impressed at the excellently designed collar allows it to be done up or unzipped and sits perfectly.
The range of colour in the horse motifs allows the top to be matched with several different coloured trousers.
Love the patterns, and they fit. Yayyy
Have finally had a chance to wear these and see how they go- super comfy pants for riding, love the stretch and the high waisted fit. Phone pocket very handy because of course you can't go anywhere without it! I had to take them up because they were very long but otherwise the sizing was perfect (size 10). They wash up well and I'm looking forward to getting out there again in my preparation for horse trek in Mongolia in July :)
The Compass Bootcut Tights are a perfect fit for my tummy area, and the rise is high enough that they flatter my shape. They stretch enough to allow me to mount easily, and I feel confident and comfortable. Thank you Ride Proud, for providing a solution for real people of all shapes and sizes!
Absolutely love these bootcut tights 😍
Unfortunately I won't fet to wear them for at least another month, as we are still in winter here in Derbyshire UK and there is no way I am getting my new tights full of blinking mud on their first day out 👍🤔🤣🤣🤣
I purchased the equitation riding pants - very flattering and fab quality pants
These are the best alternative to tights/riding jeans ever. Lightweight for summer. Incredibly stylish. And beautiful looking. I love my pants. They look professional when I work in them and they are comfortable to be wearing all day..
Buttery soft as well as being cool. An exceptional riding or anytime shirt.
Looks so smart with jeans
