 Veterinary Journal. 



" A necessary guide for horse-owners, especially those who are far removed from 

 immediate professional assistance." The Times.

 Hayes has to say he says in plain terms, and the book is a very useful one for everybody 

 who is concerned with horses." Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic Xews. 



" The usefulness of the manual is testified to by its popularity, and each edition has 

 given evidence of increasing care on the part of the author to render it more complete 

 and trustworthy as a book of reference for amateurs." The Lancet.

The Horsewoman, t 



By MRS. HAYES. Edited by CAPT. M. H. HAYES. 



A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO SIDE-SADDLE RIDING. 



With Numerous Illustrations and Drawings from Photographs 

 by OSWALD BROWN. 



"A large amount of sound, practical instruction, very judiciously and pleasantly 

 imparted." The Times. 



" This is the first occasion on which a practical horseman and a practical horsewoman 

 have collaborated in bringing out a book on riding for ladies. The result is in every way 

 satisfactory, and, no matter how well a lady may ride, she will gain much valuable 

 information from a perusal of ' The Horsewoman.' The book is happily free from self- 

 laudatory passages." The Field. 



" A most useful and practical book on side-saddle riding, which may be read with 

 real interest by all lady riders." The Queen. 



" Mrs. Hayes is perhaps the best authority in these countries on everything connected 

 with horsemanship for ladies." Freeman's Journal (Dublin). 



" With a very strong recommendation of this book as far and away the best guide to 

 side-saddle riding that we have seen." Saturday Review.
