Had to start a topic for it!
Rach and I have a lesson & saddle fitting on sunday. Hopefully I will get some piks of Rach & Billy on their first sidesaddle ride

you actually expect me to get on there?! lol... dont know if we will get it to fit yet... and pony is a tad fresh... you better bring something to calm the horse and me!! lol

Will pack my hip flask then And if that sidesaddle doesn't fit hopefully Faye will bring out her collection so you can have a ride on him. Failing that you can have a jump lesson on Molly!

Oh wow, it would be so awesome to have a go at riding side saddle!! Def get pics, or video if ya reckon Rach might cane off! LOL

haha didnt come off, but only walked... wait till I trot

Well my hips have packed up this week, so I threw the sidesaddle on Molly, scrambled up on my own and had a wee play I have discovered that I can tap her left shoulder with my right foot to stop her falling in on the left rein. She was pretty confuzzled the first time I tapped her, she actually turned around, looked at me & I *think* she said "what the heck are you doing with that foot mum????"

shes a cleffer girl! Go both of you... did you enter the ss show?

Nope didn't enter. I have no idea what those tests are or where to get them from Plus I am going to the Ellesmere show the weekend before, and I just don't want a big drive 2 weekends in a row.
Did you enter Billy? Are we still on for a s/s lesson labour weekend? And do you want to do sunday or monday?

they are just pc ones for beginner, I have them... faiur enough..
yes and what ever suits is fine with me....

*pokes old thread*

How did you guys get started with sidesaddle?? I'm really keen to have a go, but I have no idea where to start!
