LONDON HURST AND BLACKETT, LIMITED 13 GREAT MARLBOROUGH STREET 1903 All rights reserved PRINTED BY KELLY’S DIRECTORIES LTD., LONDON AND KINGSTON. PREFACE. The first edition of this book was the result of seven years’ experience of riding hundreds of horses in India, Ceylon, Egypt, China and South Africa; the most trying animals being those of which I was the rough-rider at my husband’s horse-breaking classes. Since that edition came out, I have hunted a good deal, chiefly, in Leicestershire and Cheshire, and have taught many pupils, both of which experiences were of special advantage to me in preparing this new edition; because English ladies regard riding, principally, from a hunting point of view, and the best way to supplement one’s education, is to try to teach.
