Horse-riding usually conjures up different images for different people. Some may think of cowboys out on the range, wearing leather chaps and Western boots. Others think of jockeys in sweaters of many colors. The most elegant type of rider though seems to be the one in jodhpurs, riding boots, cap and fitted jacket. These riders often move in the type of circles that can afford horses bred from champion bloodlines. With ZP176 equestrian clothing, you can feel like an aristocrat too.
One reason why people often associate horse-riding events like dressage with the upper classes is because of the British royal family. Their love of horses is legendary. You'll often see newspaper photographs of Prince Charles or Prince Harry playing polo. Prince Philip has been a pioneer in events like competitive carriage riding and while the Queen doesn't really ride anymore, she still owns champion racehorses.
Like her parents and her brothers, Princess Anne grew up with a deep love of riding. She met Captain Mark Phillips through the sport and married this champion rider, who had won a gold medal at the 1972 Olympics. She herself represented her country as a member of the British equestrian team at the 1976 Olympics and was the first British royal to do so.
Naturally the Princess and her husband would have children who loved riding too. Zara Phillips, their daughter, went one further and became a world champion in the equestrian sport known as eventing. She capped this with a silver medal at the Olympic Games held in London in 2012 and received her medal from none other than her mother.
Zara is not only an accomplished rider. In school, she excelled not only in a variety of sports but also academically. She became a qualified physiotherapist, naturally specializing in equine physiotherapy. She married rugby hero Mike Tindall and in 2013 she had to give up riding for a while as she was expecting their first child, a daughter who no doubt will grow up with a love of horses too.
Another of Zara's accomplishments is a clothing line she launched in 2010. Unlike so many celebrities who launch their own lines of jewelry, shoes or other fashion items, Zara chose to stick with what she knows best. Her line, which got its name from the number she wore the first time she represented her country as an equestrian, includes stylish versions of the items a rider would need. There are tops, jackets, caps, socks and headbands in the line, for instance.
Zara designed her range in collaboration with Musto Outdoor Clothing, a company that also sponsors her as a rider. There are Musto stores throughout the United Kingdom. They also have an online store and will deliver almost anywhere in Europe.
Musto also makes clothing for sailing, shooting and other outdoor activities. However, if you want to ride in style, be sure to pick up some items from Zara's ZP176 range. In this way you will not only look great in the saddle but will feel comfortable and who knows, maybe a little royal glamour and a lot of riding talent will rub off on you too.
