PARK RIDING, 



THE GEECIAN SEAT. 



For Park riding, we consider this elegant 

 attitude on horseback to be the most graceful, 

 comfortable, and easy which an equestrian can 

 practice, and when learned from the instructions 

 of a professed and experienced master exhibits 

 the perfection of the equestrian art. An author 

 on the Art of Riding has observed, ^' that it takes 

 out of balance that freedom and ease which are so 

 desirable in themselves and so universally ad- 

 mired, if effected by any person who is in the 

 habit of riding ; but with this difference, some 

 unite system with negligence and ease, others 

 negligence and ease without system. You find 

 no stiffness in the animal, nor do you find any in 

 the best horsemen." It is an attitude to be 

 obtained only by .considerable study and practice.
