Kerry Dykes's response made me laugh out loud..
i.e.not being caught in chaps that looklike diapers!

This get-up looks VERY dangerous to me.

Your legs are strapped and velcored into the saddle:

1) Your cinch is too loose, and the saddle slips off to the
side, but your breast collar keeps it from going all the
way over and your horse bolts from the monster that's now
perpendicular to his side. You stay on..helmet or not..
your heads in trouble.
2) Your horse slips on the trail, going down on his side
you stay on, while he jumps to his feet..or worse yet, rolls
down an enbankment..broken pelvis or worse..
3)Your horse steps in a sink hole crossing a River
 (as mine did once) the current rolls the horse and you
over and under the water. Geesh.. drown maybe?
4)Your horse pitches a fit because you just took your
jacket off in the wind.. one leg comes free of the velco, but the other doesn't.. ouch.
Actually, these aren't so funny after-all...

I can't beleive this manufacturer is SERIOUS!!??

Barb.. I'm with Kerry, I'd rather be tossed.
