Sidelights on the Sidesaddle

· By Fred Spencer · From pages 4 of the print edition

Did you ever think as the horse goes by
How those ladies can ride awry
Sideways sitting but on so tight
With parts on the left and parts on the right
A top hat atop of bounding mane
A dark net covering a face not plain
Jumping sideways, how can they do it
Over a jump instead of through it
My hat's off to those who that way show
Who will not let them their horses throw
Dressed to the nines in dressup gear
What fun to see them every year
