Excerpt from Riding, Driving, Fencing for Young People: Long-Distance Riding, EtcIn the South boys learn to ride, and girls too, bare back and without even a bridle. A mere stick to guide the horse with, and equilibrium often as clever as a rope-dancer's, suffice. Most Southern boys and girls would laugh at the idea of learning how to ride. They never know how or when they learn. It is part of their lives.The first advice an old horseman can give you boys is to learn bareback. The best as well as the most artistic seat on a horse in the world is shown in the procession on the frieze of the Parthenon, sculptured more than two thousand years ago, when every man rode bareback.An old English huntsman's advice to his young master, just taking his first lesson in fox-hunting, con denses into its blunt phrases all the science of riding.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
