I can imagine as I remember wearing them at Equitana in Kentucky and it was brutal. Equissentials was the manufacturing company that made the tölting treads for us - light weigh tights with Icelandics tölting, trotting pacing etc up and down the legs. If you want a light weight comfy, inexpensive riding pant also check out Kerrits - www.kerrits.com They are made in Oregon and I have just bought a couple of pairs of boot cut pants - they only have knee patches so aren't as grippy as the deerskin but are cooler in the summer. Virginia can look at them in the Greenhawk catalogue (a Canadian company so you won't have the exchange rate). They are not NEARLY as fun - with fringe etc - as the Equissentials but also a good option. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
