Smooth Stride riding wear is owned by Caroline and her horse Snoopy.
Smooth Stride® riding wear started in September 2005 when founder Marianne Morrison grew frustrated with women’s riding apparel. Morrison returned to horseback riding after a 20 year hiatus and took her diverse background and designed hybrid equestrian riding garments that fit the needs of the athletic outdoor rider. Now, Caroline plans to take the business to a whole new level.
Caroline has been riding since the age of 5, and practices dressage and natural horsemanship with her Pinto/Arabian, Snoopy. She graduated with a degree in Communications-Journalism from Stephen F. Austin State University and is now teaching riding lessons to beginners in Waco, TX. Combining her love of clothing with her love of horses, Caroline is proud to be the new owner of Smooth Stride.

“I usually ride in English breeches, but I love the look and saddle-to-town versatility of a boot-cut pant.
The figure-flattering cut and the bit of stretch made the pants form-fitting and as comfortable as a pair of yoga pants, without clinging to or emphasizing my every extra curve.
Overall, I found these to be extremely comfortable, high-quality riding pants that were also inconspicuous to wear around town. I know they’ll be a staple in my riding wardrobe.”

“For those who wear cowboy boots or riding sneakers, Smooth Stride Riding pants are billed as the most comfortable leggings you’ll ever own. With a boot cuff and full-seat leather patch, you could think of them as the ultimate hybrid of East-Meets-West. You get a choice of high-tech fabrics, including Polartec Wind Pro, a four-way stretch fabric with water repellent as well as insulating capability, and Dry-line, a “hydrophobic” (i.e. water phobic) fabric. The Smooth Stride pants also flatten your stomach with a front yoke.”

“Smooth Stride pants come in half or full-seat models, offering durability and support for female equestrians of all levels. With their cotton lining, four-way stretch fabric and custom sizing, comfort is a priority and a happy ride practically a given.

“The Trail Rider Ultra from Smooth Stride features a comfort-fit design. Densely-woven Dryline fabric holds its shape and wicks moisture away from the rider. Standard comfort features include built-in cotton/lycra undergarment and no inside leg seams.”

“Smooth Stride’s Full Seat Riding Jeans combine the comfort and security of full-seat riding breeches and the traditional look of Western jeans. The jeans’ medium weight, four-way stretch denim fabric and the lack of an inside seam promote in-saddle comfort, while the full seat’s breathable, tear-resistant, four-way stretch synthetic suede promotes security. Front pockets and sturdy belt loops add to the traditional styling, and a boot cut allows the jeans to be worn over paddock or Western boots.”
