RIDING FOR LADIES.
BY
W. A. KERR, V.C.,
FORMERLY SECOND IN COMMAND OF THE 2ND REGIMENT SOUTHERN MAHARATTA HORSE.
ILLUSTRATED.
NEW YORK:
FREDERICK A. STOKES COMPANY,
MDCCCXCI.
PREFACE.
This work should be taken as following on, and in conjunction with, its predecessor on "Riding." In that publication will be found various chapters on Action, The Aids, Bits and Bitting, Leaping, Vice, and on other cognate subjects which, without undue repetition, cannot be reintroduced here. These subjects are of importance to and should be studied by all, of either sex, who aim at perfection in the accomplishment of Equitation, and who seek to control and manage the saddle-horse.
W. A. K.
