In all seriousness, given that we've
been having considerable fun with this topic, I think this is a terrific
idea. I would volunteer a photo of Lud, as yet to be taken, in his
black riding tights, with his horse alongside, or under him, as the case may
be. He has powerful, muscular legs that just show well in
tights. Of course, many west region riders associate him with his
jeans and red suspenders, but he's found tights chafe less than jeans, so
there's been a changeover.
(He'd probably be embarrassed to death
if he knew I was writing this.) I'm prejudiced, of course, but I think
he'd make a great calendar "pinup". It's the genuine western look that
gets me.....the cross between Gregory Peck and John Wayne....and the rugged,
lean face.
As an aside, do you realize that in the
1700s and 1800s, when men wore knee britches and socks, those who had
skinny legs used to fill the socks with sawdust to make their legs look more
appealing? Honest, I read it.

What an idea. You know how girls and
women love horses. Well, calendars of "Firemen" have sold well also.
Soooo, we make a calendar of pictures of beautiful horses, with
their strong male riders, and great country as the back ground.
We
could sell this across the nation. AERC would never need to worry
about money again.
