Modern Godiva rides through city

Ms Thomas rode over Magdalen Bridge in front of 100 extrasEarly risers were met by an unexpected sight as a young woman rode "naked" on a white horse through Oxford city centre on Monday morning.
Phoebe Thomas, 23, was taking part in a comedy film production - a modern re-telling of the Lady Godiva legend.
The wife of an 11th Century earl is said to have ridden naked through Coventry in protest against her husband's harsh taxation of his people. Her modesty was, according to the legend, preserved only by her hair. Ms Thomas wore flesh-coloured underwear and tights as she rode over Oxford's historic Magdalen Bridge in front of 100 extras.

Living in the country I see people riding horses all the time, never this way though.......
