Women in the Field. 95 



popularity, unfortunately, will not reach this 

 country until several seasons later. 



Aside from its greater comfort to rider and 

 horse, the question of safety should determine a 

 woman's using the cross-saddle in the hunting 

 field. To-day horses have to be specially broken 

 and trained for women in the field; when the 

 cross-saddle comes into universal use, which I 

 hope to live long enough to see, a woman can 

 ride, handle, and control any horse a man can 

 ride.
