This is an amazing picture....too bad people did not film in those days.
Is this a left side side saddle?
Are all side saddles left side ?
The last photo of menage listed 20 riders and they were in top hats and boots all riding straight up, what gives ?
fatima:
take a look in the October 2006 under Hind Leg Horses, there's a picture of Mary Lennet laying back that is great.
larry allen dean:
all the side saddles I have seen have the horn,(if that's what it is called), on the left and the girl hooks the right leg over enabling the girl to stay on the horse and to lay back, I don't know what is holding this girl.
The Menage numbers are a little contradictory,(man I had to look that one up!), either way it must have been a sight. I just sold a Kelty photo of Ringling's Garland Entry number in the Garden with 75 horses, Johnny said they once used 100.
Its a little easier to pose when the animal is on a prop. Most of the time the horse is rearing up on its hind legs when this pose is done.
