Protests - Part 68

 Slow Down for My Horse

A while ago, we saw how Lauren de Gruchy, a 19 year old horse rider on the English island of Jersey, started up a campaign on Facebook in 2015 called "Slow Down for my Horse," after too many drivers had startled her horse by driving by too close and too fast when she was riding on the side of the road.  She posted a photo of herself riding her horse in her underwear, thinking maybe that would grab people's attention to get them to slow down.

The campaign caught on, and hundreds of horse riders, male and female, submitted photos for the Facebook page of their horses and themselves, wearing underwear or less.

Of course, we're concentrating on the males wearing less.  Although the campaign is to get drivers to slow down for horses along public roads, most of the photos were taken in other locations, like this guy outside his stable ...

and this guy inside his stable, seen from the front ...

and from  the rear.  None of the photos show full-frontal nudity, because they were posted on Facebook, which doesn't allow it.

But Facebook allows rear nudity as long as it's not the whole photo.

This guy spreads his arms in appreciation of the view – or of being naked and free. 

This one is in black and white.  Who takes black and white pictures these days, besides art photographers?

We end with a pair of guys and a very small pony.  Cute!  And the pony is cute, too.

What a great idea she had! And to have so many jump on that bandwagon.... Good for her, good for them, and good for us.
