Ride In Style With Zara Phillips Clothing

By Alyce Powell





Think of the British aristocracy and you probably think of horses. It seems that you cannot be a member of the royal family if you haven't been born right there in he saddle. However, not many people think of riding as the setting for some of the great British fashion moments. Riders tend to dress in drab-looking outfits when they're out on horseback. With the range of Zara Phillips clothing, however, it's possible to look stylish without having to compromise on the comfort you need in the saddle.



Zara Phillips is the eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth of Britain. Her mother is the Princess Royal, Princess Anne, the Queen's only daughter. Her father is Captain Mark Phillips and because he never had a title in his own right, neither does she or her brother, Peter. The children's parents tried to give them a normal upbringing and while they are down to earth, their lives have never been normal. After all, normality is impossible if the person who gave you your name is your uncle, Prince Charles, and your grandparents live in Buckingham Palace.



The Queen's granddaughter did extremely well at school, going on to qualify as a physiotherapist. She's also been very sporty throughout her life and took part in various sports while at school. For a while her rebellious antics were wonderful tabloid fodder but since she's married rugby player Mike Tindall and especially now that they're expecting a child, she seems to have settled down and has become the graceful young woman that a princess should be.



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.



Zara has never really been known for her sense of style. Sometimes her ensembles were so far off the fashion mark that the papers ridiculed her for it. She was, after all, a bit of a tomboy and was interested in things other than clothes. Lately she seems to have turned into the proverbial swan, however, and has won increasing praise for her style choices.



Since 2010, the Queen's first granddaughter has embarked on a different venture as clothing designer. However, she doesn't design little cocktail dresses that go with high-heeled shoes and handbags. Someone as sporty as her would prefer clothes for the great outdoors and her range is specifically for horse-riding.



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.



The range of Zara Phillips clothing has been designed for Musto Outdoor Clothing. This clothing company supplies gear for lovers of sports like sailing and riding. They're based in Britain but deliver in many other countries, even as far afield as America and Australia. If you find yourself in England, you may also want to visit one of their stores so that you can appreciate the ZP176 range first hand.
