Me and a horse

Last Saturday Vendela (younger twin) was going to go to the horse that she takes care of and take photos of me in my regency riding outfit. But the weather forecast said rain all day. It actually didn't rain all day, but we didn't know that beforehand.

But today we are finally going, so now I am going to dig out my clothes and get dressed. I also need to pack normal clothes, because I am walking home the 5 kilometres from her place to where we live afterwards. She's picking me up by car though, so that I can get dressed at home.

Many photos and some more explanation about the outfit can be found on my costuming blog, here.

But here's a video, you need to click on it:

 

I haven't been on a horse for 15 years, and it is over 30 years since I last did any actual riding. But I didn't slide off, despite having no saddle and sitting with both legs on one side of the horse.
