RE: horseback riding. What ever happened to women’s riding skirts? They were actually pants with very full pleated legs so when a woman was standing it looked like she was wearing a full, mid-calf length skirt but since they were actually trousers it allowed her to ride astride. Actually, in some circles it was considered immodest for a woman to ride astride even in a modest riding skirt. A woman’s side saddle allowed a woman to ride while dressed in modest feminine attire.
