Side saddle is not just for the ladies - I can vouch for that after an amazing session on the mechanical horse at Grange Farm stud with my instructor and good friend Lisa Lane.
Lisa asked me to go at short notice and I am really glad I made the effort. A lovely venue, warm welcome and a great introduction.
After an intro chat by Janet, I mounted the beast. It took a while to relax into the new position, but I felt it made me sit more correctly at ones - you can't slouch! Off into walk and lovely big warm-blood stride. Trot was incredible, and the canter was to die for! So exhilarating!
The trouble is, now I need to try on a real horse.......
