Women have not always ridden side saddle.
That being said I have seen women going over the fences side saddle and passing men in the process. It is beyond me how they manage that feat of atheleticism...ridership of the first order.

I'm going to tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone else.

There is a pommel that the leg goes over that prevents slipping from the saddle. As women often wore dresses, that pommel was hidden from the eye and after that it's a question of thigh muscles, good knees and balance just like in traditional saddles. Shhhhhhhh.. mums the word. We horsewomen will just take our kudos and leave it at that.

We are talking about the mindset of the Elizabethan Period, in which women who were permitted to learn to ride a horse were forced to do so using a sidesaddle. Today, some women chose to for various reasons, but they are not forced. In the Elizabethan Period, most women, even those of so-called "gentle" birth were not permitted to ride horses, as it was viewed as being to manly. But the sidesaddle does date back to the Middle Ages and it was developed, partly, because women wore dresses, partly because it was thought that riding astride would provide too much sensation "down there".

I am not unaware of what they look like and have tried to ride them...I just lack the talent to do so with anything in the same zip code with horsmanship. Pole bending or barrel racing with one of those boggles the mind.
