Female jockeys strip naked and pose riding horses and cracking whips for a VERY saucy charity calendar (Details, pics)

It may be getting nippy outside, but it hasn't stopped a group of philanthropic female jockeys from baring all for a charity calendar.

The brave women, all point-to-point riders, stripped to their riding helmets and boots in a bid to raise money for the Injured Jockeys Fund.

The group, led by organiser and jockey Leanda Tickle, posed naked on horseback as they bared all for the cheeky photoshoot, flashing their bottoms and cracking their riding crops in the process. Over six photoshoots, the women posed for almost 1,000 images, which they narrowed down to 12 cheeky shots for their 2018 calendar The Big Reveal.

The models featured are all point-to-point riders, jockeys who race over fences with hunting horses. In one image, the group goes for a naked horse canter, wearing nothing but their helmets and boots. And in another photo, a jockey is seen getting her horse ready for racing, minus any trousers, of course.

The calendar's cover image sees the group laughing together while crammed in a tub, clearly enjoying the light-hearted shoot.

One cheeky picture shows the girls tap each other's behinds with their riding crops as they pose in nothing but their jerseys. The photoshoot took place at Fern Farm in Adlestrop, Gloucestershire, and includes pictures of National Ladies Point-to-Point Champion, Gina Ellis.

The calendar will raise money for the Injured Jockeys Fund, which gives medical and financial support to injured jockeys and their families.

Leanda said: 'It's a charity which is close to all of our hearts, and while we hope that we won't ever need it, one day we might.
