Ooh I've read up about this fabulous horse before, she was quite the mare ❤ I've not ridden side saddle but did get to sit in one on a dummy horse at an open day this year. I've got mixed feelings on it tbh. While the saddle does kind of hold you in place, I can't say I felt secure in it. Maybe it was just the fact that it was new and different, but I think I prefer riding like the blokes 😂 One thing I did like though is that the position it put me in really stretched out my tight and wonky lower back!

I didn’t feel hugely balanced in it, but does make you sit up. Also I’m sure like anything if you do it enough it’s becomes second nature as does riding astride for us now. I love the look of it and admire anyone who can canter and jump side saddle.

I remember that time the fella fired a gun and Burmese just took a couple of quick steps then settled back down! I was very impressed, then I read somewhere that, on days when her maj would be riding, someone would take Burmese out for a damn good gallop to take the salt out of her! 😂 She was a gorgeous mare, surprised they didn't breed from her, but then it probably was logistically impossible, unless the foal could have trotted along behind?

Sidesaddle is very secure. As long as the girth holds and you keep your right shoulder back, you will stay on through interesting stuff. In fact, sidesaddle is so secure, it's recommended to not ride a confirmed rearer in one. It's likely that the sidesaddle you tried to ride in as a youngster didn't fit you.

Interesting. Yes the side saddle I rode in was possibly too big for me. I did film it on my other channel so might go back at watch it again 😂.

Hello, and once again an interesting and informative video...However, I would take issue with you on one point. You seem to think that riding side-saddle is somehow less secure than astride. Opinions on this are divided but on closer examination you may find that when used properly the side-saddle has advantages. For example, the curved leg protrusions firmly hold the rider in place. This why when Burmese shied to the gunfire the Queen never lost contact with the saddle. In the Victorian era there was a lady of the elite London set called 'Skittles'. She did a number of equestrian feats riding side-saddle such as jumping the railings around Hyde Park and most dangerously jumping across the Grand Union Canal's Foxton Locks!! You ought to do a video on her.

Oh I will definitely look into this thank you. To be honest (and very incorrectly) I was going on my few riding sessions side saddle and I didn’t feel as secure as riding now the more traditional way. However I imagine the late Queen had ridden side saddle for much of her life so she no doubt felt very secure. One of the people I work for hunts and jumps side saddle so you are quite right to pull me up on it. ☺️

I'm a bloke so have no right to comment on side-saddle use. However, I wouldn't feel safe trying! ​@@historicalhorses9816
