may ride, she will gain much valuable information from a perusal of ' The Horse 

 woman.' The book is happily free from self-laudatory passages." 



The AthencBum. ' ' We have seldom come across a brighter book than ' The Horse- 

 woman. ' 



The Queen." A most useful and practical book on side-saddle riding, which 

 may be read with real interest by all lady riders." 



Freeman's Journal (Dublin). "Mrs. Hayes is perhaps the best authority in 

 these countries on everything connected with horsemanship for ladies." 



Scotsman (Edinburgh). "The work is the outcome of experiences, aptitudes, 

 and opportunities wholly exceptional." 



Le Sport (Paris). " J'ai lu ou parcouru bien des traite*s d'e'quitation usuelle ou 

 savante ; jamais encore je n'avais trouve" un expose" aussi clair, aussi simple, aussi 

 ve"cu que celui ou Mme. Hayes resume les principes dont une pratique assidue lui 

 a permis d'appre"cier la valeur. Ce tres remarquable manuel d'equitation feminine 

 est bien, comme la desire son auteur, a la porte'e de tous et il est a souhaiter qu'il 

 trouve" en France 1'accueil et le succes qu'il a rencontre's des sa publication aupres des 

 horsewomen anglaises." 



Saturday Review. "With a very strong recommendation of this book as far 

 and away the best guide to side-saddle riding that we have seen. " 



The Queen. "It is a real pleasure to see a lady ride as Mrs. Hayes does ; she 

 combines in an unusual degree an absolutely firm, strong seat with a pretty and 

 graceful one. ' 



Land and Water. "A more thorough horsewoman than Mrs. Hayes probably 

 does not exist." 



Hearth and Home. "The Duke of Cambridge personally complimented her on 

 her seat and hands." 



Indian Planters' Gazette (Calcutta). "The victory [in jumping competition] 

 was well earned. Mrs. Hayes treated the large crowd to an exhibition of horse- 

 manship, the like of which has seldom, if ever, been witnessed in Calcutta. The 

 merit of the performance is enhanced by the fact that she had never ridden the 

 mare before that day. " 



The Mining Argus (Johannesburg, Transvaal). " Mrs. Hayes is undoubtedly 

 one of the pluckiest and most accomplished horsewomen we have ever seen." 



North China Daily News (Shanghai). " This accomplished horsewoman prac- 

 tically illustrated, for the benefit of the ladies present, what she wrote in our 

 columns about riding without reins, even over stiff jumps, on a mount only broken 

 for a lady ten minutes before."
