Hey everyone! I just bought a sidesaddle!!! I got it off ebay, got it checked, and it is sound and ready to ride! I have been researching sidesaddle, and know the parts of the saddle, and a few riding things-like keep your hips square, like you were riding astride.
I am going to try riding my stallion this way (as you could ride him upside down, and he wouldn't care). So, it should be fun.
My mom and trainer thinks this is stupid! I think it is really cool, so some advice, hints, tips, and backup would be appreciated!!!
I also got a sidesaddle book, and have been riding English for many years, so I won't kill myself.
Is it true I could just go to a show and show sidesaddle? Since it is an English sidesaddle, why couldn't I show that way at an English show? Should I ask the judge first? Does anyone know the appropriate attire (or where to get it)?
I'll have my fist ride in a few days, so I'll keep you all informed!!!
