Oh gosh, yes!

Last summer I was wearing a pair of brand new periwinkle coloured
riding tights (from Evelyn) and a friend offered me to hop on her
horse to see what her saddle felt like. As I dismounted, I caught
the front of my tights on the top of the crop she had snapped to
the saddle.

Needless to say, a 5'2" tall person dismounting from a 15:3 hh
horse while still being attached to said horse didn't go well.
The tights lost.

I've since mended them and they work OK - but nekkid underneath??
Yikes... Thank goodness I wasn't.

Nowadays I make my own tights occasionally and still do a double
row of stitching on *all* seams, "just in case" (and that's wearing
underthings). <g>
