So let’s make it simple. Start with how you want to feel when you ride, then choose the style that suits you best.
I want comfort and flexibility
Start with Compass Bootcut Tights.
Soft, stretchy and easy to wear, your everyday go-to.
I want support and security

This is the easiest way to start. But if you’d like to understand the differences a little more, keep scrolling.
What’s the difference?
Each style feels different when you ride. Here’s a simple way to understand what sets them apart.
| Category | Feel | Grip | Stretch | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Riding Pants Trail, Trainers, Equitation & Tribute | Structured, supportive and secure. | Full suede seat or matte silicone seat | Medium stretch with more hold. | Long rides, support, security and confidence in the saddle. |
| Riding Jeans Horizons, Stable & Legends | Familiar denim feel, made for riding and everyday wear. | Some with suede | Medium stretch with a jean-like feel. | Casual riding, everyday wear and women who love a denim look. |

Once you know the category that suits you, the next step is choosing the right pair.

You don’t have to get it perfect the first time.
Most women come to Ride Proud because they’re tired of riding clothes that dig in, feel too tight, look unflattering or simply don’t feel like them.
That’s why we design our pants, jeans and tights to help you feel more comfortable, more secure and more like yourself in the saddle.
What makes Ride Proud different?
No Inner Leg Seam
Designed to reduce rubbing and chafing while you ride.
Bootcut Shape
Flattering, practical and made to sit beautifully over boots
Comfort Waistbands
Designed to support without digging in
Deep Pockets
Because real women who ride need practical storage.
Your Choice of Seat
Suede, Silicone—or Neither?
Full suede offers familiar hold, matte silicone provides steady, flexible grip, while no added seat allows greater freedom of movement.
There isn’t one right answer. Your horse, your saddle, the way you ride and how you like to feel all play a part.
We’ve compared all three - including how each feels in the saddle—to help you decide which may suit you best.
