"Until the mid 1800’s (when the jumping pommel was invented for the side saddle) the sport of fox hunting remained purely masculine." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Ladies were advised to "ride to the meet and home again to work up an appetite" and while many did choose to ride to the hunt, a few followed the hunt in their carriages, keeping to the roads and lanes rather than going cross-country." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Grand picnics and "Hunt Balls" were often organized as a way of bringing a societal aspect to this otherwise male dominated sport." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS

"While the men participated in the rigorous horse racing events, women of respectable name were encouraged to learn how to ride horses, primarily for leisurely trots and short, practical trips—neither of which required speed or agility." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Being able to ride a horse, for a woman, was a notable trait. It was expected for women to ride gracefully and daintily." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"In addition, it was unacceptable for a young woman, to ride with her legs spread across the back of a horse. The only option was to ride "aside", or sidesaddle, which means to ride w both legs resting one side of a horse. A specific saddle was designed just for this purpose."
"Another crucial part of women riding horses was how they mounted a stead. It usually required two helpers, to make sure the woman’s dress was properly fixed and not ruined at she was hoisted onto the saddle." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Dismounting also required aid, so that a woman could come down with grace. The safest method of this was for a woman to place her hands on the shoulders of a gentleman as he placed her on the ground." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Although women were encouraged to ride horses out of necessity, social expectations still imposed restrictions to the way a woman rode a horse. It was expected for women to never ride alone, in order that would have help in maintaining their horses..."
"...and to have extra protection when riding throughout the countryside. Also, to ride alone showed a severe sense of independence, which in Jane Austen’s time, was looked upon with scorn by nineteenth-century British society." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"There is even the strong possibility that for some men, watching a woman capable of handling a spirited horse was an attraction." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS

"A lady competently riding sidesaddle, combined with a stylish riding habit, spoke louder than words of her social standing. Regency ladies had to take riding lessons, have time to practice the art of riding, and be wealthy enough to afford a horse trained as a lady's mount."

"Little girls learned to ride astride on a pony or donkey. As they grew and improved their skills, they learned to ride aside and usually changed to riding a horse." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Though in urban areas, riding donkeys were common, but riding in London required a beautiful horse, since in London, one rode to see and be seen, as well as get a little relaxing exercise." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
"Few grown ladies rode astride even in the country. It was viewed as unladylike and scandalous. It was probably also a declaration of one's incompetence at riding sidesaddle." #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #SanditonPBS
