Think side saddle riding went out with corsets and bustles? Think the only woman riding side saddle these days is the Queen of England? Well, think again. Producer Diane Toomey spent a weekend with a group of women who choose, as they put it, to ride aside. She reports from the U-S Equestrian Team Headquarters in Gladstone, New Jersey.
