I browse dA and find a lot of horse riding ignorance everywhere. There seems to be a pretty widespread misconception that the correct way to ride a horse is in the fetal position. Not so.
Riding in the fetal position is a sure way to lose control of your horse and fall off. Your horse will also likely think you're an idiot and will laugh at you from afar once you've bit the dust.
I guess what I'm saying is... it would be nice to see stock images and art where the people aren't about to fall off their horses, yes?
lol haha I have never seen people draw riders in the 'fetal' position

As a distantly-related story, when Red Dead Redemption came out, a friend showed me a promo for it: Grizzled, scarred badass gunslinger and his black, snorting, red-eyed steed.
I about fell over laughing.
I had to explain that if I were wearing a western saddle backwards, I'd probably be grumpy too.

LOL. I used to have the fatal "chair" position. Then I went normal after falling and getting hoof'd in the face. Then I went fetal position. And now I have a broken arm!
