From the man whose WR has been broken four times in the last two months.....
I like his attitude. He could never be a USMS swimmer. Too much whining here about everything.

Since the body suit craze is really catching on in swimming, I was wondering if Speedo, Nike, Arena, etc. have any plans for developing a full body suit for horses as well? :agree:

I’m sure that they could come up with a covering that is smoother than natural horse skin, all the hair, (and also the tail) that would reduce air drag. Just think of all the world records that could be broken if jockeys were riding horses cloaked in the same material as an LZR or Fastskin!!! :agree:
The only problem would be getting the horse to remain still (and not become aggressive) while the jockey puts the suit on it. Maybe they could give the horse a sedative, slip the suit on while it’s asleep, and when it wakes up, it’s all ready for racing. :lmao:
Happy swimming! :p

For this concept to really work well, the suit should be one that takes both horse and rider into one aerodynamic seamless unit ............ (and since horseraces are not held in water and thus a shark-like skin would be counterproductive the outer covering would be hawk feathers.....)
And thus, the revelation of the "horse-feathers" suit.
