What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? I continue to learn something new everyday. I hope to one day be able to successfully train my own Saddle Seat show horses and maybe if I'm lucky instruct sucessful equitation riders.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: It started in the American South.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Unfortunatly there are a few bad apples in this disipline and their actions become the tales that everyone hears about Saddle Seat. Since most people do not get exposure to Saddle Seat they believe that the stories they hear are everyday practices. All I am hoping to promote is education on the subject of Saddle Seat because it is a great disipline with an interesting history.
