Think of competitive horse-riding and you probably see one of two images. One is of the rodeo cowboy in his leather chaps and boots that were designed specifically to fit more comfortably in the stirrups. The other image you may have is of a girl from an affluent family, sitting up straight in the saddle and wearing jodhpurs, a riding cap and a fitted jacket while competing in an event like dressage. Clothing lines like ZP176 make it possible for this type of rider to ride in style.
No family is so immediately associated with horses as the British monarchy. Queen Elizabeth used to love being in the saddle and even now that her age prevents her from riding too much, she is still the owner of champion racehorses. Prince Phillip helped to popularize carriage riding as a competitive sport and many a young girl today swoon over pictures of Prince Harry in his polo outfit, just like their mothers used to swoon over Prince Charles on the polo field.
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.
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 more than just a rider who calls the Queen 'granny'. In school she excelled both on the sports field and behind the books. After school she left for university where she qualified as a physiotherapist for equines. In 2014, she and her husband, England rugby player Mike Tindall, became the parents of a daughter and it would be very surprising if this little girl didn't become a rider 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's line is available through Musto Outdoor Clothing. They have stores in the UK. However, if you live anywhere in Europe, you can order items designed by the young woman who is fifteenth in the line of succession to the British throne and they will deliver to you.
British lovers of the outdoor lifestyle know and respect Musto's merchandise, which also includes ranges for activities like sailing. If you want a little aristocratic style, however, you can't go wrong with the ZP176 range that Zara Phillips has designed. Maybe these stylish items will even inspire you to become a great rider.
