>side. Do you suppose a side saddle would be safe for a disabled rider? > There's an amazing article in this month's Eidfaxi about a one legged teenager who rides Icelandics, but he rides "astride" in a normal saddle. The old-style Icelandic sidesaddle was exactly like a seat, with a platform for the feet, very different to a modern sidesaddle, but probably much easier for a disabled rider.
