  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.
