Excerpt from The Lady and Her Horse: Being Hints Selected From Various Sources and Compiled Into a System of Equitation "What delight "To back the flying Steed, that challenges "The wind for speed! Seems native more of Air, "Than Earth! Whose burden only lends him fire! "Whose soul is in his task, turns labour into sport "And makes your pastime his!" 'Love Chased.' "The chief point in Horsemanship, " Colonel Greenwood observes in his "Hints on Horsemanship" "is to get your horse to be of your party, and not only to obey, but to obey willingly, " - "Good riding as a whole is indeed no trifle, and is worth acquiring by those whose pleasure or business it is to ride, because it is soon, and easily acquired, and when acquired it becomes habitual, and is as easy, nay much more so, and infinitely more safe, than bad riding. Good riding is an affair of skill, but bad riding is an affair of courage." Yet, in no other art, are there so many self-thought Amateurs.
