Wouldnt that flip over and the nickers be showing?(not that the nickers showing would have been a problem back then)
The Greek cavalry is an example I just took but my question is also about all the other cultures where horsemen didn't wear trousers.
Did the Scottish Highland cavalry wear pants? (I don't know if the Highlanders deployed cavalry at all or not though)
Follow up question: what about the chafing? Were there a lot of bloody inner thighs amongt the cavalry of the non pants wearing Greco-Riman world?
