"Side Saddle: A Timeless Equestrian Tradition" In the enchanting world of equestrianism, the side saddle has long been an emblem of grace and elegance. From historic figures to modern-day riders, this unique riding style continues to captivate hearts and minds. At Leconfield Opening Meet in November 1938, amidst a sea of excitement and anticipation, Lady Godiva herself would have felt at home as ladies donned their finest attire for a day filled with exhilarating foxhunting adventures. The Duchess of Newcastle exuded regal poise atop her majestic steed while Cora Pearl, renowned courtesan, added a touch of allure to the occasion. Princess Elizabeth graced the scene as Colonel of the Grenadier Guards astride her horse with utmost dignity. Her presence reminded all that chivalry knows no bounds when it comes to women embracing their passion for horsemanship. Throughout history, women from all walks of life have embraced side saddle riding. In 11th-century England, Lady Godiva fearlessly rode nude on horseback as both an equestrienne and tax protester—a testament to her unwavering spirit. Meanwhile, Welsh women in traditional costumes elegantly perched upon donkeys showcased their deep-rooted connection with nature and tradition. The art world too has immortalized this timeless practice. Paintings like "Chivalry" depict noble knights escorting ladies gracefully seated aside their horses—an embodiment of honor and respect. Artists such as Jules LeFebvre captured Lady Mabel Bridgeman's beauty astride "Claribel, " forever preserving her elegance in brushstrokes frozen in time. From medieval castles like Chateau d'Etampes to picturesque alpine landscapes depicted by James Ward's masterful strokes—side saddle riding transcends borders and eras alike, and is a universal language spoken by those who appreciate equine companionship and the thrill of adventure.
