Anyone else got their white legs out???

I got mine out for the first time yesterday and they are like hi viz!

Keeping them out for the rest of the nice weather now.
 
ha yea me too. someone at work just commented as I walked through their office...they saw me out the corner of their eye and didn't recognise my legs as being legs and had to double take.

not our fault we give in Jodphurs!
 
Hehe. Love this thread. I don't think my legs have seen sun light for years. They are so white that they reflect the light.
I have a nice farmers tan, face, arms and neck lol.
 
mine are out for the 1st time in years , starting to show a little colour after a week along with horsefly bites , scratches from hay bales and tingling from nettles beginning to think i should go back to jods/jeans :(
 
I've been in shorts for a few weeks now and my legs will still rival any teeth whitening advert they refuse to tan they go pink then white again!
 
Yep I dared get the shorts out the last 2 weekends and I and they are still white! They go slightly pink then back to white again :mad:

I even endured the pain of riding in shorts yesterday but nothing!
 
Mine are horrendous! I'm not brave enough to get them out so even in this heat I've been riding in hot pants with leggings, so they are whiter than white, the only colour on them being bruises! It's a shame because for the first time ever I have tanned really nicely on top. Ah well, I'll just stay two tone and hope it doesn't become so hot I have to take my leggings off :P
 
Had my white legs out this week and amazingly they have a little colour to them now. How did I notice? Because my feet are snow white from being in boots!!! (paranoid about foot safety with horses) now I am destined to spend the summer with permanent white socks!
 
I have been out in the sun for about 10 hours and my shins are still deathly white, everywhere else on my legs is tanned, it's just my shins!
 
Yeah.....Ive got my horsewomans legs out....you know, white and pasty looking in contrast to the arms and face lol.

Been slapping on the old Garnier Summer Body religiously and mucking out in shorts....fell asleep in the garden the last 2 weekends on the trot and resembled a slice of neopolitan ice cream for a while but finally.....the white glare of my legs is being replaced by a beige almost tanned effect.

Marvelous:D
 
Yep me too. It's been many years since my legs have seen the sun. So much I had to go buy shorts as didnt have a pair. Ended up with men's as they as so much more suitable than women's
I'm trying not to notice how bad my veins look or the surgery scars :(:(
Just got past caring
 
For first time ever mine are tanned! A week in Spain just before this wonderful thing called summer came to the UK has given me ahead start so mine have been out since the sun first came out!
I now have to tack up both horse and dress myself as i have been swapping to Jods just before gettin on!
 
I'm sure my legs actually reflect the sun they're that white.. In fact instead of going brown they are just white and covered in scratches (stacking hay in shorts = not a good idea)!
 
Haha love this thread. I'm now sat in my cobs field browsing from my phone with my top half in shade and my bright white legs sticking out in the sun.

What's makes it worse is my top half is quite tanned, I look like a cut n shut!
 
I was in the shower a min ago and scrubbing away like you do and glanced down and it looked like someone was stood behind me doing the scrubbing cos my arms are very tanned and the body is glow in the dark white :o amused me lol
 
Got mine out and couldn't look at them without sun glasses so slapped dove summer glow on them. Two applications and bingo, just took the glare off and very natural looking. Reapply daily after shower and legs are safe to display.
 
Decided to scare the wildlife and expose my white pins over the last few days,and at last they are beginning to go brown,complete with tide marks where shorts have been.Thought I'd soak up some vit D ready for winter.
 
I dont dare get mine out, I.dont think theres much point as being ginger I burn even if I'm wearing factor 50! Plus I have a scar on my knee that I'm incredibly paranoid about :o The only time my legs come out is if I'm home alone and it's too hot to wear jeans in my room! :D
 
had my legs out as soon as there was a bit of sun, had a sunbathe when there was any spare time too, now have brown legs but failing that Dove summer sun is good :D

I have a cool solution to this - get a fluffy girth cover - cut it in half and machine down so you have two tubes. Feed leathers through and tadah no more pinching. Daughter has them, I would cause crashes from reflected sunlight and be in danger of being harpooned at any moment ! :D
 
I've been in shorts since April and my legs are very brown. The temperatures here have been up in the 30s and 40s for months now and I am naturally a tanned sort of colour, so I guess I have an unfair advantage :).
