    Fair play to Susan, she is a superb side saddle rider.

    My friend rode side saddle in the RDS hunt chase a few years back. She was first to ride, but dropped the crop down at the bank.

    Now as you probably know, dismounting from a side saddle is a simple task, but mounting alone is not:pac: Not sure if the rest of the team even got to ride after that, after all their training, but it definitely cost them any success. Mortifying; the hunt chase is great fun to watch but people actually take it quite seriously..

    Hunt chase is taken VERY seriously by some.I know a hunt where they all went jogging/swimming as well as horse based training twice a week!!
