94 HO IV TO RIDE. 



whose knees give evidence of stumbling, 

 or upon one that is not master of lier 

 weight. The lady must see that, in 

 turning to the right or left, her horse 

 leads on the side to which he bends, 

 and she should carry her inside shoulder 

 slightly back at the same time, so that 

 the centre of gravity of the mass will 

 be preserved. The leg will support the 

 horse in turning to the right, the whip 

 will give support in turning to the left. 



The lady who desires to excel in 

 horsemanship should, when an oppor- 

 tunity offers, witness the performance 

 of some school-rider of her sex. A few 

 public lessons from such mistresses of 

 the art as Mademoiselle Guerra or 

 Mademoiselle Elise de Vienne will be of 

 very great advantage.
