Cross Saddle For Women Debates Riding Attire
The advisability of a woman riding astride has been much agitated lately and the proper costume to wear for riding is debated in social circles and fashion columns.
The Cross Saddle Debate for Women in Riding
The author contends the cross saddle is largely a fad over the side saddle. polo and hunting at resorts show some use but riding skill and safety favor the side saddle. Properly seated women are not distorted and gain better leg grip. many women are ill suited to astride seating. Accidents from skirts or stirrups can be prevented with proper precautions and safety gear.
