416 THE COSSACK'S ABILITY TO RIDE 



so far as I can learn. On the whole, the seat does not 

 appeal to me as a good one. I firmly believe that the 

 same amount of work devoted to a seat more like our own 

 would produce better results. But there is no denying 

 the Cossacks the ability to ride, and as a semi-civilized 

 light cavalry they are unequalled.
