The Facebook group called “I wear my riding breeches in public and get awkward stares.” It’s a place for riders to share their experiences of freaking people out because they wear riding pants, in public.

Here’s a quote from one poster: “Just before Christmas my horse pitched me off into the dirt, and I broke my wrist. I went to the hospital. I had my tall boots on and received enough awkward stares to last me a lifetime. One male doctor asked me if I rode a motorcycle. I said: ‘NO?!?!’ I went back a few weeks later to get a new cast, and one of the doctors remembered me and said, ‘You were the girl in here with all of your horse gear on!’ Then he said: ‘Oh, everyone was talking about you for days.’….GREAT!”

Why this public fascination? Discuss. What’s you favorite source of equine humor? Please share!
