Croeso i'r Side Saddle Association Rhanbarth 11 Safle' We!

In 1974, Janet Macdonald and Valerie Francis wrote a letter to ''Horse & Hound'' hoping to gather a band of like-minded enthusiasts to keep alive a dying art.

From this, the ''Side Saddle Association'' was born and over the years has become respected throughout the UK and abroad, evolving into the Association we know today, with over 1200 members.

85 of these existing members are in Area 11 which covers Gwynydd, Clwyd, Cheshire, North Shropshire and Staffordshire.

Yn 1974, ysgrifennodd Janet Macdonald a Valerie Francis lythyr at gylchgrawn ''Horse & Hound'' yn annogi nifer o bobl brwfrydig o'r un anian i ail sefydlu celfyddid sy'n brysu ddirywid.

Fel canlyniad ganed y Side Saddle Association sydd yn fawr ei pharch ym mhrydain ac hefyd ar y cyfandir gan ddatblygu i mewn i'r Gymdeithas y gwyddom amdani heddiw gyda dros 1200 o aelodau.
