does anyone know of a good side saddle instructor in or around south yorkshire? im wanting to try it and so far the only place i can find is Manor Grange and the mechanic horse theyve got but id like to try it on one of my horses as well.
 
I had a lesson with Anita Shelton side saddle & she was lovely really made me feel comfortable

As I saw yesterday that you are going to Hopton Horse Centre, I can recommend Heather Hopkinson who can be contacted through Tack and Turnout, Huddersfield. She has a mechanical horse but does freelance instructing as well. She rides side-saddle herself, and although I haven't yet had a side-saddle lesson with her (one of those things I keep meaning to do, tried it at Acrecliffe years ago) I certainly find her a good instructor, we usually end up in fits of laughter.
If you want any more details PM me.
 
thanks for that Pearlsasinger. ill look her up. the mechanical horse would be good for a first ride but after that id love to try my mare, but saying that id need to find a saddle unless the instructor had one to borrow for the lesson.
