I would think that she probably saddled the horse so that she could put herself in the right position, to be able to teach Centered Riding. Here's a video showing more horses with their typical saddle placement, along with the bit / hand evasions: http://www.hestafrettir.is/veftv/default.asp?MovieID=270&CategoryID=37 And look at that horse slipping on the ice. Maybe could have broke his leg! So, why not take preventative measures and not go on the ice (like wearing the *protective* boots.... just in case something untoward happens).
