Yes, but when the next ice age comes, and body fat is important...my three horses and I will still be here whilst these 'skinny, gorgeous' people will have died of malnutrition/hypothermia.
Plus, the 'skinny/gorgeous' people at my ride aren't actually very good riders on the whole...
S
The Barbie lookalikes I know may look like they just stepped out of the pages of a magazine and usually have the horses the latest gadgets, overly harsh tack in the in latest colours to match but they usually can't ride for toffee and sock their horses in their mouths etc because they think it looks good and get warned by the stewards for over using their sticks, blame every stop when jumping on their horse and say it's humiliating that said horse shows them up in front of their friends. People who fall into this catagory should just buy a sports car in my opinion
I end up a sweaty, smelly, frizzy haired mess after an evening at the yard - most amusing when going to Tesco afterwards for weekly shop... ah well....
Oh doesnt mind cos he rides too and is equally yuk...
I do not have a problem with skinny people as i always tell myself that I must be stronger than them and have better leg aids!!!! (rubbish I know but it does make me feel better). I get upset with those people who stay spotless, with groomed perfect hair and prestine breeches even after mucking out, grooming, feeding and haying their horse ..... How do they do it?
aye!!it makes me laugh though because i had my birthday party and there is alovely lady on my yard and she is really skinny with perfect figure and shes had two kids and 40 odd!she came to my birthday party and i said to my mum on the way i bet shes wearing a corsette hot pants and knee length stiletto boots!!we got there and the only thing i got wrong was she was wearing skintight jeans instead of hot pants coz "it was too cold for hotpants..." hehe! aww shes lovely though bless her... =] xox

But don't you find it clears the check out que's faster lol
We too had this sweet woman at our yard, she always looked so co-ordinated and always was turned out immaculately as was her horse. Im sure she thought I was a homeless woman wandering round the yard - Im suprised she didnt chuck me a fiver to get myself some soup lol
it's the immaculate ones that drive me crackers too. i used to keep my horse at livery, and the groom there wore cream jodhs every day, and they were as immaculate at the end of the day at the beginning, she never got hoof oil on them, horses didn't smear their food all over her... unbelievable.
she was quite chunky too, so there were lots of places for muck to stick!
*runs away very fast*
I have just got my pictures back from the weekends dressage- horse looks great and my legs to my shoulders look ok but then you reach my face- I so many chins you would need a bookmark to find my necklace and the face is so red I am blending in with the uprights of merrist wood arena!
I want to be a dressage rider with a size 24inch waist with the waistband under my boobs and lots of bling!!!

Sorry i am laughing!
But seriously 24 inch waist although it looks good, u can only fit into certain types of Breeches, as they are the wrong shape. Anything other that Pikeur and Shumacher and only certain types of Ankys look rediculous on me!
