As an open-minded sport, it isn't often I think, "Ouch, I wouldn't want to give that a go!" and I am not prone to shriek with laughter, but when I saw this and other photos from Michael Zauels, I thought and did exactly that. What are these people thinking, putting their horses through that embarrassing, sweaty ordeal?Is there no shame in France, trotting around with titties and chest hair blowing in the wind, appendages bouncing in time to a stud's steps? Apparently not. There is a whole community of nude cavaliers enjoying the open air pursuit, unfettered by self consciousness.

I don't know if they are on a membership drive, but if you feel so inclined to let more than your hair down en France this summer, give them a call.
