come on! This has been a fun thread, nobody bickering, a light
hearted discussion in a very serious sport.
Why throw in a wet towel? Sheesh, for people that don't want to or
know how to have fun, DELETE.
Do we always have to be so serious and with that seriousness,
almost always comes arguments, which leads to bad feelings and
discord.
A little humor goes a long ways, if you want the discussion back on
the sport at all times then add something that you want to talk about. But for
those that enjoy some laughter, leave us to our own devices and just hit that
good ol delete.
And I would like to see Charles in tights too, way too much is
focused on the "perfect body" I like to see real ones, not all Ken's or
Barbies.
While I find the discussion on tights mildly entertaining, how
about just sticking to the original intent of our sport, and that is
riding, enjoying our horses and the challenge of trails, new and old.
It seems to me there is enough marketing of the human body already that we
don't need to do this within our sport. I admire athletic and
accomplished people, men and women, young and old. Could we please
just leave it this way, and leave the marketing to the clothing
manufacturers, perfume and cosmetics industries?
