Wikipedia
Sidesaddle
Sidesaddle riding is a form of equestrianism that uses a type of saddle which allows female riders to sit aside rather than astride an equine. Sitting aside dates back to antiquity and developed in European countries in the Middle Ages as a way for women in skirts to ride a horse in a modest fashion while also wearing fine clothing. It has retained a specialty niche even in the modern world.
Examples of use of side-saddle
1. The bride arrived riding side saddle on a white mare in a dress made from 270 feet of silk.
2. Side saddle: Michael Killan on his invention Stability, he explains, is a question of mastering front–to–back balance as opposed to left–to–right.
3. Your luggage is safer on a tourist shuttle, and you are less likely to be squeezed next to a fat man sitting with his thighs spreadeagled, forcing you to adopt an excruciating side–saddle position for four hours. (Its either that, or forcing his thigh back with yours, which is open to misinterpretation.) The shuttles are quicker, more convenient and still pretty cheap, but you do lose out on both local colour and safety.
