    THROUGH ENGLAND ON A SIDE-SADDLE PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Celia Fiennes | 96 pages | 02 Apr 2009 | Penguin Books Ltd | 9780141191072 | English | London, United Kingdom Sidesaddle - Wikipedia Ninth century depictions show a small footrest, or planchette added to the pillion. In Europe , the sidesaddle developed in part because of cultural norms which considered it unbecoming for a woman to straddle a horse while riding. This was initially conceived as a way to protect the hymen of aristocratic girls, and thus the appearance of their being virgins. However, women did ride horses and needed to be able to control their own horses, so there was a need for a saddle designed to allow control of the horse and modesty for the rider. The earliest functional "sidesaddle" was credited to Anne of Bohemia — The design made it difficult for a woman to both stay on and use the reins to control the horse, so the animal was usually led by another rider, sitting astride. The insecure design of the early sidesaddle also contributed to the popularity of the Palfrey , a smaller horse with smooth ambling gaits, as a suitable mount for women. A more practical design, developed in the 16th century, has been attributed to Catherine de' Medici. In her design, the rider sat facing forward, hooking her right leg around the pommel of the saddle with a horn added to the near side of the saddle to secure the rider's right knee. The footrest was replaced with a "slipper stirrup ", a leather-covered stirrup iron into which the rider's left foot was placed.

  • Driving a Morgan Offers Endless Possibilities
    Magazine Articles Driving a Morgan Offers Endless Possibilities Written by Suzy Lucine “Morgans are a very intriguing breed,“ said Suzy Stafford, whose Morgan mare, PVF Peace of Mind, was the 2016 USEF International Horse of the Year. “They have many natural attributes that lend them to be exceptional driving horses. The breed is a strong, powerful type with a trainable attitude and exceptional work ethic. The breed’s power to size ratio still baffles me. “Morgans were bred to drive,” Suzy explained. “Years of breeding traits that lend themselves to be good at the job of driving are very evident.” When a little bay stallion was foaled in 1789 in Springfield, Mass., you would be hard-pressed to find anyone in the area who believed he would become a prolific sire and change the face of American equine history. Justin Morgan, a teacher, composer and horseman, acquired the colt and named him Figure. Later, Figure became known by his owner’s name, and went on to become the foundation of the Morgan horse breed. Justin Morgan made a name for himself by out trotting, out pulling and out running the best horses the New England and Mid-Atlantic regions had to offer. However, his everlasting contribution to the breed came with his ability to pass his distinguished characteristics on to his offspring and several generations to follow. During this era, equine enthusiasts were looking for horses that were gentle, easy to train, and were sound with natural ability and agility. Soon people were looking for horses that also looked good, and those rich with Morgan blood fit the bill.
