Female Midlander & the Sleipnir Horn Inquiry

Do female midlander ride side-saddle on Sleipnir? If they do then I don't think I'll be purchasing a Sleipnir horn anytime soon.

No they don't sadly.

I wish side-saddle was a /cpose option. :(

I wanna ride side saddle as a male Mi'Quote ; ;

Can we change this thread to a side saddle for all petition thread?

Men, traditionally, don't (ever) ride side saddle. It's to do with preserving the virginity of a female, amongst other things.

However, this is a new world so why not allow us to go against all gender 'norms' of Earth? Side saddle for all!

EQUALITY 4 ALL.

No but honestly the horse hurts my cat-junk. I need side-saddle to protect my kitty bits.

Somehow on a horse (even if said horse is mythical) side saddle doesn't feel right to me. On chocobos on the other hand yes...like Fang from Final Fantasy XIII (somehow the side saddle on chocobos looks right to me).

lol just remove the saddle from horses then side saddle for all. (I think that's my issue with side saddling horses or anything on four legs with a saddle)

It was mostly due to it being "improper" for a woman to spread her legs in public (at least for most European cultures). Not to mention, it was a bit awkward to sit astride in a dress without just bunching the dress right up to your hips and exposing your legs.

The whole sidesaddle thing in games makes me roll my eyes though, mainly because the devs obviously have no idea about riding sidesaddle. You actually need a special saddle to do it without just slipping right off of the horse. (It's especially funny to see characters riding sidesaddle bareback!)

Side saddle is the most inconvenient and uncomfortable way to ride a horse.

The only thing it makes easy is getting off the horse.
