You can spot an equestrian at the swimming pool a mile away. She’s trying to masquerade as a normal human, but her glow-in-the-dark tan lines are a dead giveaway: white legs, white hands, and either four different sets of tan lines on her arms or a proper polo shirt sunburn if she’s lucky. This is a person whose natural habitat isn’t a beachfront cabana but a barnyard.
There is no SPF strong enough to keep our outta-control tan lines in check, so why not just own it? Eventing Nation has teamed up with our friends at uvex equestrian USA to give away a pair of sunglasses and riding gloves to one lucky reader. Share those bad equestrian tan line photos via email (send ’em to [email protected]) or post them in the Facebook comments of this post, and we’ll put our top 10 favorites to a vote! #democracy
The winner will receive …
