I just don't see any reason to believe that the only reason people wore trews was for riding.
Well, what happens when you get off the horse? You walk!

Are you being serious or just having a little joke? Of course there were many reasons why trews were worn. What I am telling you though, Tobus, is that trews were usually worn by gentlemen because they rode. This was a mark of distinction, status, and wealth.

A stick when mounted has many uses. Ever heard of a crop?
