Here in Louisville KY it's big.
I rode saddleseat for a wee bit, but I didn't really enjoy it so I went back to western and quarter horses.
Looking back at it now it's actually kind of impressive my parents even found a place that gave western lessons, lol.

There was one PonyBoxer I know who rode saddleseat, she's never on anymore though, and I can't remember her barn name...
I thought it might be Remmy or Reminiscent or something, could be wrong. s:

I did saddleseat on Morgans :-)

Ive never ridden saddleseat but would love to try it someday :)
Also Im a traditional artist (looseringstudio.com is my site) and Ive been looking for some saddleseat references, maybe you could help?

Saddleseat people, I need your help!
I'm working on a series focused on bits. I've found/taken reference pics for many types already but am looking for a nice close up of a traditional saddleseat double bridle set-up. need a nice clear photo something between profile and 3/4 view to showcase the bit. If I choose your photo I will send you a digital copy of the finished image. Here are some examples of what I have for comparison.
Also, if you have an interesting bit set-up I might be interested in that too so feel free to post that too!
Pic examples

I rode a Morgan saddleseat at horse camp once (which led to me riding "saddleseat" at all my high school equestrian team competitions).
That Morgan had a lovely stride, he was a joy to ride.

Aurwu - I live in KY!!!

Turn Firehorses - I can maybe take some pics of some the next time i'm at the barn if you want???

WWF that would be awesome! saddleseat is not big around me, its been so hard to find someone!

I've never done it but I would love to try it. I really love Morgan horses.

I definitely recommend it!! It's much different than other disciplines, but it's very fun! Nothing like a Saddlebred :)

I grew up riding English, but have recently started taking saddle seat lessons. It's super fun! I like how Saddlebreds have so much momentum at the trot, it makes posting so much easier!

Have you ridden a gaited Saddlebred yet?

I would love to ride a Saddlebred but I haven't yet :)
