Be honest, did our name seem a bit odd when you first heard it
Or maybe it immediately made perfect sense?
Here's an explanation of what the name Ride Proud means.
Everything, or nothing. In our case, it's everything. But you'll come to know that I don't do much without it having meaning or purpose.
For as long as I've ridden, I've worked on developing my seat; as my primary aid, it's the start of everything. (Hint: that's why our pants don't have back pockets).
I've studied it, I've researched it, I've done courses, clinics and lessons on it. Hell, I've travelled across the world to participate in clinics focusing on it. I've read and watched almost everything I can, and I've observed.
My findings?
To me, the most effective, most elegant and most admired riders all share a particular posture – and that posture is proud.
When I was instructing and correcting position, I would sometimes hear myself say 'ride proud''. I've found that when a rider can take that proud feeling into her body, her seat immediately improves.
I know, it's simplistic, but sometimes the best things are, aren't they?
This is a photo of me riding at a clinic in Europe a couple of years back. Yep, I'm bareback and on the lunge, and I'll take every opportunity I can to be lunged. It's so good for improving the seat.
Here's a challenge (or maybe it's not). Organise with a friend to ride bareback and on the lunge. Maybe you can take turns. I'd love to hear how it goes.

My tights have not been on a saddle yet, because I've been wearing them casually just everywhere. Smart enough to go for coffee with friends and recently I wore them in the car for a 7 hour drive. So comfortable and stretchy, I've bought a second pair. If you're between sizes, consider going down, because they mold and fit beautifully because of the stretch. Another colour please!!!!
I am so happy with my bootcut riding pants, they are without a doubt the most comfortable riding pants I have! Plenty of flexibility and a great thickness to be warm in winter and not too hot in summer.
I love all of my Ride Proud items (I have many). These pants are a nice weight for California's upcoming summer and look nice for non-horse related chores before and after barn hours. One important note - take care to follow wash instructions. Mine were laundered with good intentions by another and came out shorter in hem with puckering at pockets and leg seams. Steaming helped but sadly did not fully restore them to their original, fabulous fit.
I'll be purchasing another pair when they are back in stock!
Honestly super comfortable and hecka flattering. I'm just hoping you guys will make them in more colours, so I can revamp my whole wardrobe with them.
Happy with my purchase. Can't wait to ride in them.
Amazing fit - so comfortable and will be much cooler to ride in this summer compared to my jeans.
Pants are about 8 inches too long!!!
Rode in them this weekend at a clinic. I really liked them - no binding or uncomfortable areas. They fit big probably because of the stretch - I would suggest you size down one size because after they were worn for awhile they were quite loose.
These pants are high quality, extremely stretchy, deliciously comfortable leggings that are an English/Western fusion. They are a top notch outfit for a Western Dressage competition…
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!
