The American Horsewoman (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The American HorsewomanMany valuable works relating to the subject could be had, but none especially for ladies. True, in many of these works prepared for equestrians a few pages of remarks or advice to horsewomen could be found, but so scant and limited were they that but little useful and practical information could be gleaned from them. The writers of these works never even dreamed of treating many very important points highly essential to the horsewoman, and, indeed, it could hardly be expected that they would, as it is almost impossible for any horseman to know, much less to comprehend, these points. The position of a man in the sad dle is natural and easy, while that of a woman is artificial, one-sided, and less readily acquired, that which he can accomplish with facility is for her impossible or extremely difficult, as her position lessens her command over the horse, and obliges her to depend almost entirely upon her skill and address for the means of control ling him.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
