Try Zara Phillips Clothing For Riding In Style

By Alyce Powell


Many people associate the upper classes of Britain with horses. Riding is indeed something that most members of the aristocracy enjoy. Unfortunately, the idea of a female equestrian doesn't conjure up images of a leader in the fashion stakes. It doesn't have to be this way, luckily. Zara Phillips clothing, for one, bring a sense of style to horsemanship without compromising on comfort.

Zara Phillips is a true British blue-blood. Her mother is Princess Anne, the only daughter of Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. Because her father, Captain Mark Phillips, does not own a title, neither does Zara or her brother Peter. This doesn't mean that they're just like anyone else, though, even if their parents tried to raise them to have their feet planted firmly on the ground. After all, it was her uncle, Prince Charles, who chose her first name and a visit to Granny meant going to Buckingham Palace.

Growing up, the young royal excelled both academically and in sports. At times her rebellious streak and tomboy nature landed her in hot water but she has since turned into a beautiful, accomplished young woman. Not only is she a physiotherapist but she's also married to Mike Tindall, a popular English rugby player, and they're expecting their first child.

Princess Anne and Captain Phillips were both horse-riding champions. Captain Phillips won a gold medal at the Munich Olympics in 1972 and four years later his wife became the first royal to represent her country at an Olympic event, this time in Montreal. Their daughter kept up the family tradition by becoming a world champion and winning a silver medal at the London Olympics.

In the past, Zara wasn't usually admired for her fashion sense. Like her mother, she didn't really care for dressing up and her choices of outfit at times made her the target for very nasty comments by the tabloids. However, in recent years she's had style watchers speechless in awe at the gorgeous ensembles, fit for a princess, that she would put together.

In 2010, the talented royal decided to add to her accomplishments. She's now a clothes designer too. Her range does not include the frilly dresses one would associate with royalty but instead is aimed at equestrians.

The range is known as ZP176. This is the number that Zara used the first time she rode for her country. Her experience as an equestrian champion means that she knows just what riders need so her clothes focus on function, comfort and practicality. However, they're stylish too. The range includes items such as jackets, socks, caps, headbands, neck tubes and chaps.

If you'd like to own some Zara Phillips clothing, you'll find it through Musto Outdoor Clothing. The company is based in England and specializes in outdoor and sports clothing. They have shops in the UK and you can also order online.
