I haven't continued to ride side saddle on my own, Susan, but primarily because I don't own my own horse. *blush* I am very lucky that my best friend owns a riding stable, and she lets me ride whenever I go over to visit her. But she lives about 45 minutes away and I don't get out there much. We both run businesses and they keep us so busy.
My husband ocassionally says, "We have to get you side saddle riding again." So there is positive impetus for me to do it. It's just tough when you have to borrow someone else's horse and saddle.
The saddle is the big deal. Side saddles have to be very closely fit to your body, and I'm very tall. So it looks like I might be buying my own saddle even before I get my own horse.
