Excellent looks great! Someone I know hunted side saddle with the quorn today, lovely pics on Facebook. It does look a little scary though.

Looking good I love all the ladies riding sidesaddle, you look so elegent! Great to see. The little girl (I say little, she looks around 11/12) riding side saddle looks fab

Most of you seem to have been jumping - it looks quite secure, does it feel so? Your horse looks like (s)he's having a whale of a time.

Lovely shots of the hounds in flight and jumping, too.

Side saddle is very secure - so much so that you must not ever ride side saddle on a horse with a tendency to remotely think about rearing, as you may not slide off if they go over backwards :-O

Fabulous photos and very brave of you, imo.

You look so elegant. Lovely to see so many people side saddle, I would never be brave enough to do it, let alone jump hedges side saddle.

Looks amazing. Loved some of those side saddle jumping shots. There was a hedge mid way through - was it as high on the take off size? I want to come over and hunt in the 'shires but whilst the fences are absolutely fine, that hedge looked about 5 foot high! Presumably there are some that won't take on vast hedges like that or do they just breed 'em hard out that way

The photos are beautiful. I have a book written by Jack Hance, with pictures of his daughters going flat out side saddle and there is an interesting chapter on side-saddle v. astride. He thought side-saddle was best for ladies who couldn't devote a lot of time for riding.

Wow, Gollie looks fab. -Hope you enjoyed the whole day. He's so grown up!
