ABOUT MSSA
The Mid-South Sidesaddle Association was founded in 2017 by Pam Anderson, Laura Lawson, Kayla Benson, Brooke Ballenger, Dottie Benson, and Billy Anderson. The need for a regional club was realized by two of the founding members after the blushing bride decided to learn to ride sidesaddle for their historically themed wedding! Shortly after, the rest of our founders gained interest and the Mid-South Sidesaddle Association was born. Since then, MSSA has had the opportunity to add sidesaddle classes to the Germantown Charity Horse Show and the Nashoba Carriage Classic. Members have also had the opportunity to participate in several holiday parades and attend expositions throughout the mid-south.
