 In all seriousness, given that we've been 
having considerable fun with this topic, I think this is a terrific idea.  
I would volunteer a photo of Lud, as yet to be taken, in his black riding 
tights, with his horse alongside, or under him, as the case may be.  He has 
powerful, muscular legs that just show well in tights.  Of course, many 
west region riders associate him with his jeans and red suspenders, but he's 
found tights chafe less than jeans, so there's been a changeover. 
(He'd probably be embarrassed to death if he 
knew I was writing this.)  I'm prejudiced, of course, but I think he'd make 
a great calendar "pinup".  It's the genuine western look that gets 
me.....the cross between Gregory Peck and John Wayne....and the rugged, lean 
face.   
As an aside, do you realize that in the 
1700s and 1800s, when men wore knee britches and socks, those who had 
skinny legs used to fill the socks with sawdust to make their legs look more 
appealing?  Honest, I read it.

  What an idea.  You know how girls and women love horses. 
   Well, calendars of "Firemen" have sold well also.    Soooo, we 
  make a calendar of pictures of beautiful horses, with their strong male 
  riders, and great country as the back ground.  We could sell this across 
  the nation.  AERC would never need to worry about money again.
