EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this advertisement from September 7, 1888, showcasing the revolutionary new Safety Side-saddle by Champion & Wiltons. This innovative design, illustrated to the right, offered riders a significant advantage over the old side-saddle style, which had long been a source of discomfort and insecurity. The Safety Side-saddle, as depicted in the image, allowed for a straight sitting position, providing riders with improved posture and balance. Gone were the days of the exaggerated diagonal seat and the precarious position that came with it. Instead, riders could enjoy a more natural and comfortable riding experience. The advertisement proudly boasts of the import's "decided superiority" and the "advantage of a straight position," which was sure to appeal to the discerning equestrian. The historical image, from the pages of the Illustrated London News, provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the evolution of side-saddles and the importance of comfort and safety in horse riding. The old side-saddle, illustrated on the left, may have been the norm at the time, but the Safety Side-saddle offered a more modern and practical solution for riders. With its straight sitting position and emphasis on comfort, it's no wonder that this new design quickly gained popularity and became the preferred choice for riders in the late 19th century. This advertisement is a testament to the enduring appeal of innovation and the importance of listening to the needs of riders, even in the earliest days of equestrian history.
