Bearer, and many others, but as I was very young at that 



time, it would be too hard a task for me to remember the 



names of all the horses my father ever owned, neither 



would it interest the reader. 



Now, horseback riding, like some other pleasures, 



can be indulged in at any age, as long as a man or 



woman do not overtask their strength at the beginning, 



and I really believe that riding has done more to prolong 



life than any other sport, in fact, I know that it has, and 



all the best physicians recommend it very highly in many 



cases.
