REFERENCE LIST 261 



Wire-cutters optional, but not considered advisa- 

 ble on a ladies' team. 



Horses. 



All alike as possible in shape, style, type, and color, 

 and all suitable for women's use. If an odd 

 colored horse is present he should go in the cen- 

 tre. 



Manes, tails, and clipping all alike. Manes neatly 

 braided, without color, or hogged. Tails pulled 

 at butt and banged or switched. If clipped the 

 saddle-mark and legs should be left undipped. 



For team of lady M. F. H. and lady whips, or lady 



HUNTSMAN AND WHIPS: 



All details same as for member's team, with the follow- 

 ing exceptions. 



Black velvet helmets instead of toppers. 



Lady acting as M. F. H. rides in centre and carries 

 horn-case. 



Ladies acting as whips carry couples for the hounds 

 and an extra stirrup leather in addition to the 

 combination sandwich-case. 



If a lady rides in a member's team with two gentle- 

 men, she should be dressed exactly as in the 

 ladies' team, but her hat should, of course, be 

 exactly like that worn by the men, and her coat 

 should be of the same cut and style as theirs, 

 although, of course, not scarlet. She should carry 

 the combination sandwich and flask case, but 

 the men should carry separate flask and sand- 

 wich cases; the former on the near forward side 

 of the saddle, and the latter on the off rear. 



The men should be dressed as if they were in a man's 

 team, with white leather breeches, calf boots with 

 pink, flesh, or brown tops, and white garters,* 

 spurs, crops, etc. Their coats should be of black 

 frieze or of scarlet. 



* Before 1880 knee ties of white leather ribbon, tied just below the 

 fourth button of the breeches, were worn instead of garters. It will 

 be observed that the gentlemen in the illustration facing page 132, were 

 wearing these as late as 1893.
