[Background]There was an extensive thread or two on possible designs. The consensus (and I agree) is that the jersey shouldn't be Clydesdale = big but slow, especially since some of us (not I - but others!) can kick some serious 120# cf spandex roadie ass

Having a static or barely moving horse would only reinforce the idea that Clydesdales are big, slow, strong, lumbering and seemingly lazy when compared to the smaller and faster "thoroughbreds". Not something I'd be proud wearing unless it was true...which at least for me is not.

If that means bending the publicly accepted norm of what a Clydesdale horse is then so be it - don't we?
