For some people, horse-riding conjures up images of cowboys in their cowboy boots and leather chaps specifically designed for being in the saddle most of the day. Others think of jockeys in colorful jerseys. Many, however, think of aristocrats wearing formal-looking jackets and riding pants known as jodhpurs. If this is the kind of riding you want to do, you may want to get a bit of blue blood in your get-up by wearing clothes from the ZP176 line.
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.
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 seems to excel in everything she does. In school she was a great athlete but also received excellent grades. When she went on to study at university, she chose physiotherapy and qualified as a specialist in equine physiotherapy. Her husband has played rugby for England and now they're the parents of a little girl who will no doubt inherit a passion for horses and an extraordinary athletic ability.
Like many celebrities before her, Zara designed her own line of clothing. Naturally her line is specifically for equestrians. It includes items like caps, headbands, socks, jackets and riding tops that are both functional and fashionable.
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.
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.
