Horses Wear Trousers.

When the horses in Nice, France, are hitched to tar-spreading carts they wear trousers to protect their legs from the hot tar. A further protection for them consists of a curtain suspended between the cart and the horse. The trousers are what lends distinction to the horse, however. The knees are a bit baggy but the horse doesn’t seem to care.
