I have never ridden kilted, but did on a regular basis ride a Belgian. My wife and I owned a blonde belgian gelding, he was my ride whenever we went out riding. Very smooth ride even at a good gallop, which was not often, he just wasn't made to run that way too often. If I still had him I would love to ride in my kilt. I can just imagine the attention we would get. Used to get a lot just being on his back.
