Women Riders!!!

Alright, I couldn't help but post this because after visiting shows, I almost cry watching some of the younger riders.
To all those women or teenage girls wearing tank-tops--STOP!!!
When you ride, WEAR A SPORTS BRA. I will say it again. WEAR. A SPORTS BRA.
If you think you look cute, that's great. But when you are 40 and your breasts are down to your knees, it won't be so cute then!!!
They make sports bras for a reason! Anyone who plays sports knows this. It is not for your comfort and it is not for the spectators--it is for the CARE of your breasts and to help them fight gravity. Regular bras do not give you enough support (if they did, I would have worn those when I ran track!). They make some with smaller straps if you INSIST on wearing clothes that look silly with sports bras, but pleeeease, for the sake of your breasts, wear a sports bra.
<3 End public service announcement, LOL!

Lol, I am glad you have reached the stage where you can rant. I hate it too. I go to Athletics and the mums go around running sometimes and their boobs just blob all over the place. It is SO gross!

I just couldn't imagine riding a horse without a bra OUCH!
I can't believe someone would do it or any other sport without one.
They make so many different styles now I'm sure theres one that wont show under a tank top. The camisoles with built in bras would be better than a tank with nothing.

I always wear sportsbras unless I'm going to a fancy party and need something with smaller straps...I don't think I've ever ridden without one hehe.
But then again I'm the type of person that will wear a tank top and a sports bra and not care of the bra shows lol but then again I ride with all girls so it doesn't matter too too much.

LOL! I have always tried to provide my lovely lady lumps with the utmost of support and protection but I fear genetically I was ill fated from the get go! No matter what I do anything faster then a walk while on horse back has the jigglies coming on and at the tender age of 27 they are fairly pitiful when turned loose of their restraints!

My mom had 4 girls - 2 of us got big 'uns, 2 of us got nubbies and all four got the saggies and the jigglies and not much helps short of duct tape!

LMAO!! That's too funny!

What a funny post! I have to agree though that it's not right to dress like that, especially around children.

LOL soo true. It's so tacky when people do that...but yeah, I always wear a sports bra when I ride. I feel like my 'you-know-whats' are more secure.

I'm glad everyone here agrees. :)

I heard there are some really, really nice 'minimal bounce' bras made for equestrian sports for the 'bigger' ladies.... although I don't need them :)

I don't wear a tank top when I ride so a good ole' regular bra under my t-shirt works just peachy for me
