shorts and a halter, eh?

Another stupid sports writer who doesn't get it

On top of all the other idiocy in this piece, the sentence "I love the equestrian events as well, although riding around 30-odd years ago on a big placid mare in the summertime wearing shorts and a halter doesn't really make me a candidate for dressage" really springs out. No matter how you diagram this sentence, either the horse was wearing clothing or the author was engaging in some early pony play.

This is why you have editors--to stop you from looking this stupid. This is why you should listen to them.

That's probably what she means, but I admit I read it as she was in the shorts and the mare was just in a halter! I think we should all write in and demand to know just what she meant ;)
