Sidesaddle riding is a form of equestrianism that uses a type of saddle which allows a rider, usually female, 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. A little advice is needed because the saddle is not so straight forward. It has two pommels, a fixed head, and a leaping head, the higher one of the two being the fixed head, around which you place your right knee if riding on the left. Most saddles popularly are left hand side saddles but right hand ones are available as well.
