written in 1903. Over 260 pages with dozens of
illustrations and photos.
"The
first edition of this book was the result of seven years‟ experience of
riding hundreds of horses in India, Ceylon, Egypt, China and South
Africa; the most trying animals being those of which I was the
rough-rider at my husband‟s horse-breaking classes. Since that edition
came out, I have hunted a good deal, chiefly, in Leicestershire and
Cheshire, and have taught many pupils, both of which experiences were
of special advantage to me in preparing this new edition; because
English ladies regard riding, principally, from a hunting point of
view, and the best way to supplement one‟s education, is to try to
teach.
The
directions about side-saddles and seat are the outcome of practical
work and fortunate opportunities; and I hope they will be as useful to
my readers as they have been to my pupils. Although I have ridden, when
abroad, some of the worst buckjumpers that could be found in any
country, I have never “cut a voluntary,” thanks to
the adoption of a seat and saddle which gave the necessary grip. Of
course I have had “purls,” when horses have
“come down” with me out hunting; and on
one occasion in China, when a horse which I mounted for the
first time, reared and came over."
