lady experienced in cross saddle riding
will have TO begin anew to learn the
side saddle. It is therefore better 70
begin on side saddle, try the cross
saddle and then choose. In order to
know which style she prefers the lady
should know both ways perfectly
have known personally many ladies
who could ride we'll both ways, and
they all gave the preference to the
side saddle. especially when they had
TO ride a lively horse. or intended to
make a great impression on the adj
miring spectator"
How does the English style of rid
ing differ from the French?" inquired
the interviewer.
There is no difference was the re-
ply. There are no different styles of
riding, but there are different condi-
tons to which a good rider ought to
know how to adapt himself. French
riding, Austrian, English, Italian, Rus
sian are all the same; the only differ
ence is due TO the different department
OF the rider, which shows alike when
walking in the street, just as an Eng
lishman is easily distinguished from a
Frenchman when walking side by side.
There are, however. three different oc-
cssions to whiches good rider should
be readily able to adapt himself
we have. first, theascross country
riding, second the park riding. and
third the ring riding
In the cross country riding, for
which Englishmen are especially re-
puted. due 10 the condition of their
country with its big estates, long
stretches of fields and frequent fences
the rider finds it necessary to depend
mostly on the sagacity of his horse to
pick the best ground for his footing in
order to have all the freedom possible
TO take the jumps at the proper time.
Asgood hunting horse must carry his
rider through the fields and require
very little guiding. OF course the rider
is supposed TO have a good seat.
In the park riding il is all different.
The horse can not see and judge as
quickly as his rider what may suddenly
happen in his way, so he must be kept
under control and the rider has better
opportunity to use his own judgment
and alertness. In the park the rider
must also sit more gracefully, for there
aresmore than the eyes of grasshoppers
and rabbits upon him. While the cross
country riding requires good a seat
as the park. the correctness of the
seat is more essential in the park
compare the go easy way of the lawn
in the country and the exigcncies of the
drawing room.
THE pleasure of riding in a ring is
the privilege of the very few, and the
best riders are the ones who enjoy ii
the most. but for that it is necessary
to have attained a very high grade, and
then the pleasure taken in training q
horse, perfecting his manners. having
him under control without the least In
reference. give the rider an amount of
satisfaction and pride much greater
than the pleasure of an outdoor ride:
but 70 enjoy It, it is necessary TO have
been initiated in the art of training, and
no matter TO what degree a horse has
been trained he is always susceptible of

improvement. When a rider tells me
that he does not like the ring am posi-
tive that he knows sery little about
riding; on the other hand. when he en-
joys the ring he certainly is or will be
a good rider.
Outside of the instruction she re-
ceives, the most important point for
the lady who expects TO ride we'll to
consider is the way she shall dress
She must be dressed so that she can
take a perfect position without any
effort, without any restraint. The best
point of a Rider is, when at any gait
of the horse, the walk. the trot. or
the gallop. she can leave her body to
the motionbof the horse; for that the
suppleness OF the loins is absolutely
necessary; then, please suppress inn
mediately the stiff and long corset, and
order at once from your dealer what
is known as French riding corset
or a good imitation of this, which can
be procured anywhere.
THE next most important point to
be considered, for either the lady who
rides astride or side saddle. since in
either case she must press against the
horse with the legs, is that the legs
must be well protected by heavy un-
derwear; In this case we are also
obliged to order the French riding
tights.
Another highly essential item in
the dress OF the lady on horseback, to
which generally insufficient attention
is given, is the hat. In the first place.
the hair must be arranged so that It
is tight and solid, and the hat must
be fixed so that it can not possibly
move. TO test the hat lady ought
to bend forward. with her head down
as low as possible. and shake the
head from right to left and up and
down. and see that her hat does not
move any more than a mans hat
From the hat we pass to the shoes
A lady ought to have shoes larger than
the ones she wears generally in the
her foot must be perfectly
at ease; the sole of the shoe must be
as large and long as possible, and be-
fore using new shoes for riding she

shoulders forward. at the table. at the

a lady should have a thorough
knowledge of the equipment OF her
horse. She should know how the saddle
should be fixed on his back, how the
bride should be adjusted to produce
the best effect, and not TO torment the
mouth OF the horse and provoke dis
order on the part OF an otherwise gentle
animal. She should ASK often. IN fact
whenever he opportunity occurs. how
