A modern-day Lady Godiva has taken a 'naked' horse ride through Melbourne hoping to shock voters to act on climate change ahead of the federal election.

But on a chilly day in the city, the political message fell largely on deaf ears.

Wearing a black cape and long black boots with flowing blonde hair covering her breasts, 31-year-old Sarah Keecher on Monday sat side-saddle atop the trotting horse as it passed by city landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral and the National Gallery of Victoria.

"I have stripped off to expose the inaction of government on climate change," Ms Keecher said.

"We all need to take a stand for our planet and that starts at the polling booth on Saturday."

Walking alongside the horse were Senate candidates Paul Wittwer and Kammy Cordner Hunt, who are representing the Independents for Climate Action Now party.
