Different attire than over here... but reminds me of living in Wellington, Florida where every winter they had the best of the best... all VERY nice horses. I miss it very much. I've had to adjust to different ways out here. :scry: Very nice pictures and some very pretty horses!

Interesting, how does the attire differ abaigael?

[abaigael04]

NOt excessively different for the older riders.. but the wider pant legs (and hat) on the woman i've never seen. Also - have never actually SEEN in real life someone riding side saddle!

The lead-line mom is wearing a divided skirt. Very appropriate.

Of course some of the differences in the riders may just be what is in style right now. I moved away 2 years ago and it's been 4 years since I worked in Wellington. Out here I don't even think they *know* English riding exists and all think I'm some crazy person but that I have the best behaved horse... :sconfused: Very very nice pics, though.. I love a good pic of a nice horse! thumbs2:

That is what I mean - just haven't seen it personally. I have only been to a lead line class at smaller schooling shows, though... but never seen attire like that.

It's very British, but I've seen similar outfits up here...

May be the problem- I used to live in FLorida. Not very British at all!
