I believe it was a hip injury

Interesting. Can someone help explain what type of injury would make riding astride uncomfortable but would still allow side-saddle riding and the amount of hiking, climbing, lifting, etc we are sometimes called upon to do? I'm not being critical nor am
I being facetious. Print is hard. I am truly curious as every year when we update our standards and requirements I like to have a broad mind that will include many possibilities. However if I submit an idea without the necessary facts to back it up it's an
exercise in futility!
Thanks,
Chris

Thanks J- I am wondering if anyone will address, the age of most side saddles, could the lack of mounting and dismounting be an issue on the off-side and
how a poor fitting saddle will injure a horse's back.

Humm, that's a good question T'mi'. Something to think about. It will be interesting to read any responses.

Does any MSAR Team approve the use of a Side-Saddle for MSAR training, deployment and/or missions? If so, does anyone have any safety concerns using a side-saddle for MSAR personnel?
