My first attempt at Sidesaddle

[Cobsndogs]

Well seeing as I have the week off, yesterday I had my first sidesaddle lesson. It's something that I have been meaning to do for ages, and I really enjoyed it. Will definately be going back for more. I hadn't ridden for a few months due to varoius reasons, so really need to get myself riding fit, I can really notice it in my old legs today!
And a few pics too.

Wow, well done. I can imagine it'd be hard to balance and hold your weight in the right places!

Heehee! Welcome to the "dark" side! Once you get sucked in, you never want to ride astride again

Going clockwise was fine, the other way got a bit wobbly at times, especially the transition from canter to trot- I was a little bouncy! Have to go back for more now though.

Looks fun! I'm positive I'd just tumble off the other side if I tried

You look great!
I'm having a side saddle taster session in a couple of weeks! I'm really looking forward to it. I've never done it before and am very worried about wobbling off, but we'll see!!
