  That is because the average rider is 40-70 something...WE ....
just don't want to tote 40 lb saddles around, and take them off and on , 
then you got the water bottle weight, the saddle pads, the emergency kits, 
easyboots, raingear, etc.
 We also don't want to clean anything (in my case I am selling my home to 
get one easier to care for!) so we get biothane, we dont' want to chaff raw, 
so we get the lycra.....
  We know we need to save our strength for arguments with our horse  ;0)
It's all about priorites.....and we are glutens for time with our 
horses.....
