Horseback Riding

[Southern Breeze]

I mentioned riding sidesaddle because I know several women who do. Why not in a kilt? Technically it's a skirt.(lets leave that debate alone).Wearing cyclist shorts under your kilt may help also.

There was the William Lawson's commercial where several virile kilted gents came upon some stranded women in the rain. The gentlemean were riding horses and they lent their kilts to the ladies and rode off again without the kilts. Of course this was only a commercial so it does have some sort of believabilty problems.

There was also the Monty Python skit "Scotsman on a Horse," where the kilt-clad Scot (John Cleese) rides across the countryside, arrives at a church, bursts inside, and carries off ... the kilted groom. I don't know how everyone feels about Python, or that particular skit, but they do show a full-body shot of the horse, so we know Cleese was really riding a-kilted.

And as someone else who has pondered this, pics are definitely necessary.

Didn't Liam Neeson ride kilted in Rob Roy too??

Hard enough to get my kilts arrange just climbing behind the wheel of my car...saddle...

Back in 1962 I took a riding course at Oregon State University. The professor was an old cavalry officer. He taught us to ride without saddles first. Learned how to "sit' a horse...ride standing, ride kneeling, etc.

So, maybe riding standing on the horse's back...circus style...would be a good option with the kilts.

It was a cold winter in Oregon that year and I well remember the special smell of horse sweat on my wool sweaters....not sure I'd want it on my kilts.

Yeah, Liam did ride. Think he'll tell? Ok so far the bicycle shorts isn't bad. Certainly some thing shorts are in order as I don't really care to have my sweat and horse sweat co-mingling if you get my drift. All sweat aside is there any historical data on this kind of activity. I'm going to do this one way or the other.

You might have a favorite leather jacket you like to wear all the time, but you would be a fool to wear it when it's 120 degrees out, wouldn't you?

And if you must wear something under the kilt - like bicycle shorts - you're defeating the purpose anyway.

Jeans are the only way to go for riding - unless you have some fancy English boots and jodhpurs. Dashing, awld boy! Release the hounds!

It occurred to me that that a blanket on a saddle might be all that's required. I may have solved my own problem. How ever the process was accomplished by all that gave their input. Thank you
