Well it could be a toss up! Foot ball guy in sneakers riding, not so good! Equestrians playing football, not bad. But the foot ball players in the gym are pretty good in their own environment.

Really riding in shorts and sneakers! I really think the equestrians nailed it!

UHM, let's see shorts and sneakers, I agree with the other people, not good. But who ever it was in the gym work session, were good, probably a mix of both!

Shorts and snickers, not a good choice, we all agree on that!
