The fall of the sidesaddle is linked to the rise of female liberty, for it was the dawning of political freedom which brought about the overdue death of this repressive equine invention. The extent of that dramatic social change began to be apparent in the early 1930s when women were offered the option of equestrian equality. They abandoned the sidesaddle in droves in favour of riding astride.
Then, when the acclaimed film National Velvet was released in 1944, women old enough to have spent their childhood in a sidesaddle watched the young girl, Velvet Brown, dream not of being a pretty face but of winning the Grand National steeplechase while riding astride.
