kilts, horseback riding and genetic memory

[BoldHighlander]

i'm a newbie, so i hope folks will cut me some slack at the naivety of my questions. i mean, i'm not generally a joiner, but i enlisted in X Marks the Spot because i have a few questions that i figured experts might have some perspective i can learn from.

the first is, is there an acceptable/practical way of wearing a kilt while riding a horse?

i can hear the laughs or scoffs now.

I really don't have much to add to kilts & horseback riding, other than to say that historically Gordon of Glenbucket was noted during the '45 to ride everywhere in a kilt.

I have been laughed at and ridiculed (not that it makes a difference) on this board for mentioning it before but yes, I believe in genetic memory and no matter what anyone else says, I've experienced it.

You just can't tell me that all the Scottish descendants around the world who have a longing for Scotland and all things Scottish are not a bit experiencing the same thing.

I too believe in genetic memory. Case in point, since I was a kid I was attracted to Confederate cavalry leader John Hunt Morgan & his Raiders. Had no idea why. I read everything I could about him, drew pictures of he & his men, even joined a reenactment unit, the 2nd Kentucky Cavalry "Morgan's Raiders". It wasn't until I did family research a few years ago that I discovered 9 ancestors that rode with his raiders during the ACW! Made the hair stand up on the back of my neck!
I've also always had an attraction to horse soldiers in general, then again I found out that my Scobee's were horse soldiers through out America's history (War of 1812, ACW, the Rough Riders in Cuba).
Even the elders of the Southern Cherokee Nation selected the name 'Gasaka Soquilla' (Lighthorse) for me!
Yes, I feel there's more to it than a fancy for horses.

Then factor in how I feel about the pipes, tartan/kilts, living near mountains & a fjord type bay, all things Scottish -- and I think alot of that has to do with genetic memories of my Highland Scots ancestors. As matter of fact, since my 6th great-grandfather came here from Scotland, my family has followed & lived in mountanious areas: the Appalachia's, Cumberland's, Ozarks & finally the Cascades. We've always gravitated towards the hills & mountains.
It's in the blood, as the saying goes

It is an interesting subject to contemplate.
