When I was thinking about what to write in my blog this week, I was thinking I should write something profound, life changing etc. But no, I think I will write about
underwear! It is at this point that all you men can log out since this will be much more information than you really want to know.
When I wrote my first blog, one of my recommendations was to have the right equipment. We all have dreams of the perfect saddle - butter soft, draping flawlessly over your horse and cradling you like a loving mother. But the most comfortable saddle in the world does you no good if your nickers are migrating north while your tush is settling south and your breasts keep trotting long after your horse has come to a complete halt.
As a late in life rider, I have succumbed to nature's most evil force.... gravity. Perky is no longer used in the vocabulary to describe parts of my body. I think more and more of one of my mother's favorite jokes. -
A man went into a shop to buy his wife some lingerie. When the clerk asked for his wife's size, the man was at a loss. Used to clueless husbands, the clerk asked whether his wife was built like lemons, oranges or grapefruits. He paused a moment and said... more like Spaniel's ears. OK the last man, who didn't heed my warning is now offline.
While I have solved the lower half of my wardrobe by wearing "Brigitte Jones" underwear (who was the sadist who designed thongs anyways) I am looking for the elusive bra that will stop the jiggle without stopping my heart. I am not prepared to go the route of vet wrap or the universal tool - Duct Tape. I am on my second or third sports bra. I have to warn my instructor that sometimes when she says "Breath" I can only gasp "Can't".
This topic was covered on one of the Carriage Driving Lists. Someone mentioned a bra called "The Iron Maiden". Now that sounds like my kind of bra.
I guess I wrote about something profound after all.
Later,
