I have shown saddleseat, but not because I like it. It's
the `required' style for my breed. It's like riding on a
piece of polished cardboard.... =(
I managed to compromise and get a sidesaddle/saddleseat
suit so I can ride aside in my classes. I like the flashiness
of it, to answer your question, but personallyI feel it is
the least secure seat to ride at.

I ride both hunt seat and saddle seat. And I like both for specific
reasons.
Riding a good gaited horse to me is as big a kick as riding a good
hunter. And I like the excitement of showing gaited horses. The
really good ones tend to be 'on the edge' and enjoy showing off their
style and ego. And that attitude is catching.
I really miss my old park horse who used to go around the arena like
he was the only horse on earth--and I miss the business of the more
people whooped and hollered and clapped the higher and stronger he would
go. (The audience participation is fun. And getting to do a victory
lap is fun--something I miss with showing hunter and jumpers.)
I have ridden in over fences classes that were a lot less aerobic
exercise than riding a gaited horse through a class.

| I agree with the last note....I get a big kick out of the motion.
As far as the saddle goes...you are right Sherry. I cheat a little
though by using "spoiler" over the saddle. It not only helps with
the slippage but it helps my back...not as much jarring on the "more
mature" bones.
The mare I ride is 16 but you would never know it. She loves to go;
she is never out of control. The more you cheer the more motion
she gets....she really gets me going.
