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.
A family that has done more than any other to cement riding's aristocratic image, even if it probably wasn't their intent, has been the royal family of Great Britain. Until not too long ago, Queen Elizabeth II was often seen riding out on her country estate and she's still the owner of racehorses that have won championships like Ascot. Prince Phillip is regarded as a bit of an equestrian pioneer and Princes William and Harry often appear in press photographs in their polo uniforms. Even Prince Charles is still an avid rider and polo player.
The Queen's daughter Princess Anne was a riding champion when she was younger and she was the first member of her family to compete in the Olympic Games. She met her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, in equestrian circles. He was a champion rider too and had won a gold medal at the Olympic Games in 1972.
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.
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.
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.
