Does anyone know of figures ridding Sidesaddle?

[von der Tann]

The side saddle wasn't very common in the Middle Ages, and most likely wasn't known earlier in the period. The Medieval version also couldn't be controlled by the rider.

Does it really matter how historically correct it is when he wants just such a miniature?

Suren Miniatures used to have two beautifilul eighteenth century ladies in riding Gear ... 30 mm.      Philippe

It is always a joy to find obscure miniature makers or some ancient sculpts when asking other people if they know a certain type figure.

Thanks for the replies everyone, you showed me some nice figures.

But it existed, it's not like I am planning on making an army of side saddle riders. Thought now that I think about, that would be an amusing unit.

1256 is the first written evidence of a side saddle, very common by the end of the 14th, it’s in lots of art and tapestries by then.

Princesses on parade perhaps?    Could be a great baggage unit for a meeting engagement.

Perry Miniatures do a very nice Margaret of Anjou fig that’s easy and fun to paint.

I seem to think that Foundry used to do a male civilian riding side-saddle in both their ECW and their Marlburian ranges. I haven't seen them for ages, so it may be that they're no longer made.

Actually, Colonel Bill has two peasant women riding side-saddle in his seventeenth century range. One is riding behind a male rider.

Bad Squiddo has an Elizabeth I (Tilbury speech era) riding side-saddle.

The Airfix figure was Maid Marion, as I recall.

I have nothing to offer the search, but when I saw Tam Lin mentioned as a female riding side-saddle, I had to go and look.  Tam Lin in the old songs is a male knight, cursed by the fairy queen and saved by Janet.
