 a woman should be forced to wait, she 

 must keep her horse moving in a circle

 walked for some time, so that he may 

 enter the stable cool, and not be endan- 

 gered by draughts if not attended to at 

 once. 



When riding with others, their horses 

 should be regarded ; and as the woman 

 sets the pace, she should not make it 

 faster than that which her companions' 

 horses can easily maintain.
