Endurance.Net Ridecamp Archives

There are some of us who ride endurance, ctr and pleasure trail aside.  We don't wear dresses or aprons...unless it's a trail class in a show.  And, yes, I foxhunt aside and take the coops at any speed.  It's a LOT of fun!!!

Ah, those sidesaddle riders.  I'm always amazed that women rode that way, and even hunted over fences riding sidesaddle!  Wow...  There was a wonderful exhibition of women riders from Mexico at a rodeo in Texas, where they all rode sidesaddle and performed maneuvers at a gallop (not a lope!) -- it was impressive. 

 

Glad I don't have to ride sidesaddle... or wear a dress...!
