Normally only seen in their equestrian clothing, top riders such as Emily Llewellyn and Andrew Thornton stripped out of their breeches and riding jackets to take part in a charity fashion show in aid of Spinal Research and the Get Claire Walking Campaign.

The celebrity riders managed to raise an impressive £10,000 by strutting their stuff at Newbury racecourse on January 16.

Hosted by former event rider Claire Lomas who was paralysed in a fall at Osterton Horse Trials in May 2007, the evening was a night of "Fun, frolics and fashion" with top names from various different equestrian disciplines including dressage, show jumping, eventing and racing.

The models, which included Laura Bechtolsheimer, Carl Hester, Daisy Dick, Tina Cook and polo player Mark Tomlinson, modelled evening dress, casual wear, underwear and their more familiar equestrian clothing.

Some of the money raised will go towards a hydro pool for Claire to aid her rehabilitation.
