I tend to make judgements on four things:


- rider's clothes - tennis shoes? Ummm.... no. Jeans that are short enough to turn into highwater waders when mounted? Not so much. It's pretty obvious who knows what they are doing and who doesn't based on dress alone. Riding jeans and boots says a lot.

I am 5'11" and also overweight and it seems that most clothing designers assume that women with a waist my size MUST have legs that fit 32" inseams. I have a very hard time finding jeans that are not too short when I ride my horse... I would need a 34" inseam for them to really sit "right" when I am just walking, nevermind with them hitched up to ride! So I plead the exception. I know what I'm doing!


Also re: jeans -- overweight gals have known the "secret" to comfy riding jeans FOR-EVER. LYCRA DENIM BLENDS!!!

Hi twin! I have the EXACT same problem! I need a 35-36" inseam, so I have to order special pants for me on the internet. It's hard to find jeans in stores that don't look like I recently outgrew them.
