RIDING: ON THE FLAT AND ACROSS COUNTRY. 



By CAPTAIN M. H. HAYES. 



REVIEWS OF FORMER EDITIONS. 



Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News. — "The book is one that no man who 

 has ever sat in a saddle can fail to read with interest." 



The Field. — "The general directions are in most cases in accordance with our 

 own opinions ; and Mr. Hayes has supplemented his own experience of race-riding 

 by resorting to Tom Cannon, Fordham, and other well-known jockeys for illus- 

 tration. ' The Guide ' is, on the whole, thoroughly reliable ; and both the illustra- 

 tions and the printing do credit to the publishers." 



The Sporting Life. — " It has, however, been reserved for Captain Hayes to write 

 what in our opinion will be generally accepted as the most comprehensive, enlightened, 



and ' all round ' work on riding, bringing to bear as he does not only his own great 

 experience, but the advice and practice of many of the best recognized horsemen 

 of the period." 



Society. — " The whole book is viritten in a style eminently suited to the subject." 



AthencBum. — "Is an eminently sensible and useful manual Is in all 



respects satisfactory." 



Scotsman. — "A thoroughly practical treatise." 



Graphic. — "Is as practical as Captain Horace Hayes' 'Veterinary Notes' and 

 ' Guide to Horse Management in India. ' Greater praise than this it is impossible 

 to give. " 



Vanity Fair. — "Three-fourths of those who'indulge in what they call riding in 

 Hyde Park would do well to learn this book by heart."
