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.
One member of the royal family who absolutely lives for horses is Princess Anne, the Queen's only daughter. In 1976 she even represented her country as a rider at the Olympic Games. Captain Mark Phillips, her first husband, was someone she met through her love of riding. He was an Olympic gold medalist in his day and still works in riding circles.
It came as no surprise when Princess Anne's daughter would follow in the family tradition and love riding. However, Zara Phillips also followed both her parents' lead by becoming a riding champion. She held the title of eventing world champion for four years and in 2012 she competed in the Olympics, just like her parents did before her. Her mother presented her with the silver medal she won.
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.
Clearly not one for sitting still, Zara has diversified into a completely different industry too with the launch of her line of clothing. Unsurprisingly, she chose to design a range of equestrian clothes. They are stylish and fashionable but they do not compromise on comfort. The line includes not only tops and jackets but also accessories like riding caps, headbands and even socks.
The range is named after the number that Zara wore the first time she represented her nation in the saddle. It is available through one of her sponsors, Musto Outdoor Clothing. Musto stores are located in different UK cities and you can also order online. They deliver mainly to locations 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.
