Thank you for coming to the home of sidesaddle and ladies riding history information on the net.  This site is quite new, only launched in the last 30 days.  You will find it lacking in the text department right now, but please enjoy the photos that are up.  I am always interested in your input so if you want to share anything please contact me.  Watch yourself around the mess.

1/27/10 Updated and new "For Sale" saddle

Please report any broken links.

I am always looking for more info for the site.  Photographs of saddles, habits, whips, horse equipment, women in riding habits or on horses.  I am also looking for stories of women who rode, these could be  your ancestors, famous women you are fond of, or even yourself.  I will also list your sidesaddle and vintage riding gear as being for sale among these pages for a fee.  For more detailed submission information, please see the contact page.

I don't want to clutter the site with Google ads, so if you like the site and would like to provide some support, please see the donor link at the top of the page.

This page was created and is maintained by info at thesidesaddlemuseum dot com, with the generous assistance of the American Sidesaddle Association.  Copyright The Sidesaddle Museum 2009 all rights reserved. 

This is a collaborative site, meaning I receive images and information from all over the place.  It is impossible for me to know if they specifically own the rights  to any image, so if you see one of yours that is not correctly attributed, or you don't want it here, please let me know. 

Due to the large number of Craigslist and E-bay scams involving sidesaddles, I have marked the photos on this site to try and discourage scammers from trying to sell things they don't own.

Each category has an associated introduction, so please browse around.  Start with the Main Gallery for  a basic introduction to sidesaddle and the museum, and for access to all the categories.  Several of our more popular topics are listed below as well.  The individual exhibit  pages will open in a new window for ease of browsing.

Please start your journey here.  Enjoy!
