LOL - I said it was a stool - not a horse. I didn't mount it from behind so when I went to sit down and actually had to jump up onto it because it was high I did have fabric under my butt. So the combination of the height of the stool, being on the edge of the stage and having a table of ladies at my feet all lead to be needing to keep my hand heavily in my lap. Do I care if they saw up...not really but it was kind of an unusual situation. Sorry for not posting the photos this week yet. Been too busy at work and haven't been getting home in time to even consider touching my computer.
