  No knee protectors yet.

  The horses are wearing some, though. :)

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  the wraps on the horses legs are for support, much as an athlete tapes up ankles or knees. These leg ligaments can be torn or pulled on horses causing them to be destroyed photo is probably related to this tournament, when Freake had to replace Edwards which would account for only them being identified. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?_r=1&res=9D03E...

  Is it possible to run in a skirt like that?

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  La Belle Province Aha! Wondering if anyone else would ponder that, but if you look closely, there's a (buttoned?) seam up the middle of each skirt. I'm assuming that they increased mobility by judicious unbuttoning...

• La Belle Province said:

  So risque! But they were called hobble skirts for a reason...

• Acoustic Toes said:

  Just want you to know how much I enjoy your - what should I call it? - commentary on the photographs. The pictures are a wonderful keepsake, but your wit is what brings me back. Thank you.
