Is that first one actually a real human being 'cause I swear I thought it was a barbie and some sort of weird perspective shot???
Gees if you going to wear tendon boots (?? WHY) at least put them on the right way up!
 
Brilliant.

Unfortunately, lady with a mini saddle on her bottom is perpetuating the (mostly) mythical idea that riding horses equates to S&M on some level.

Whilst this can be shamefully used to attract a partner, it does cause trouble if you need to pop to the corner shop and happen to be wearing riding boots and a jacket. 'eeeeelllo love, cheeky, eh, cheeky, where's yer whip, fancy a roll in the hay bales...' and that's just the teenagers hanging around outside.

Oh fashion, you are so silly.
 
Haha very good.

However, slightly off the point, what does the horse have on it's head in the "Try to ride in mittens, get frustrated because you can’t hold the reins, and just give up" picture?! I'm no expert but looks a bit odd?!

It's wearing a Cheltenham gag - but it has a leadrope clip on it, the leadrope having been photoshopped out. He's in dreadful condition - a close up shows its coat growing every which way, and large chunks of it falling out, no muscle - it looks as anorexic as she does. I bet you can count every knobble down its spine - and it's not even sexy.

Sadly, I think Madonna thinks everything can relate to S&M.

My favourite was the field and sunglasses in the dark. I might have to steal it.

To be fair I have seen my friend do this... in her defence she was at a fiesta and quite drunk/hungover and had to try and find a horse in the wee small hours (still not advisable)

Sadken I think that only happens if you look resonably smart or smell reasonably presentable as I frequent the local supermarket with my muddy yard boots and jods and some mollasess lick smeared on my face and no one heckles me.

Oh, I completely concur, I never look smart or smell nice, I'm one of those velcro-muck people and I don't wash my jods often enough (eww!). However, I think it's a case of desperation or boredom in our neck of the woods!

Ah yes I can see now I've made the pic bigger! Could see the Cheltenham gag bit just couldn't work out the lead rope clip...but quite obvious when I made it bigger....durr me!!
 
Thanks for brightening up my afternoon, and for giving me some inspiration for a photoshop project I have to work on..... I can't seriously believe a lot of these are taken as they appear ... I'm guessing that a lot of the models (the one with the horse rearing behind her and the one with the riderless horse jumping over her shoulder, for example) are composites mashed together for effect. Very funny though. Thanks for sharing....

I'm going to London tomorrow on business and always feel dead untrendy. I'm going to dig out my old tendon boots and wear them just like this, then I too will be a total trendster!

Ha! I shall enjoy the admiring glances as I trot through Waterloo station in rush hour tomorrow... (!)

As am I ... I did however go out for a riding club doo in clean show jods, shirt and black jacket and needed a stick to beat the old men off with!! Having said that though maybe they would have enjoyed that too?

Found a funny picture on the same topic!

Both horse and man look like they just want to get back to work!


ETA - I'm also not entirely sure that's a real race horse...

Those two are hilarious, especially the rather manly unattractive model behind the tiny jockey. I don't think that horse would be winning many races, unless it were round barrels.
