Fully agree, I've been there done that many times in my misspent youth, in a Pipe Band marching in a parade behind a huge Equestrian Unit, and the nasty green-brown your previously white spats become.

Though in truth I'm not sure what's worse, marching behind a group of horses or marching behind a group of Clowns.
