I stumbled upon sideways whilst I had an nh trainer, it pops up as being a move that you teach them. It comes up in western and it pops up in Trec.
Now I am not a pupil from hell but I wasn't far off it in my refusal to do it! I was definitely in the nay camp and I scraped a minimum mark when I did my tests.
To this day I don't teach it or ride it. I do lateral which allows me to open and shut a gate. But the do not like the movement, going forwards and sideways isn't the same thing, I don't mean a leg yield.
What do you feel? Think? Teach?
Had I not done nh/western I wouldn't ever have come across it. The bhs doesn't include it, so why not?
