About This Book
The manual presents practical riding instruction aimed at women, surveying English and continental (school) methods and recommending a blend of their rudiments to produce safe, manageable mounts. It emphasizes acquiring an independent seat, correct mounting and dismounting, and the balanced use of legs, spurs, and hands to control the horse's hindquarters and gaits. Lesson material covers walking, turning, voltes, trotting, cantering, galloping, and jumping, plus class organization and gradual progression. Practical advice addresses stopping frightened horses, cornering, road riding, and recognizing and overcoming common resistances through measured, patient technique suited to the side-saddle rider.
