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 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.
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.
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 is a highly respected manufacturer of outdoor clothing such as a range specifically for sailing. Their crowning range however is ZP176, Zara's line which was named for the number she wore when she first started representing Britain as a rider. With these clothes, you'll look stylish in the saddle but the functionality of the different items may help you become a champion too.
