CONCLUDING EEMARKS. 49 



Most persons are desirous to ride well, though 

 not in a manege stjle. To ride well, a lady must 

 be perfectly at her ease, with a hand capable of 

 managing her horse, with facility to herself, and 

 comfort to her animal. These requirements will 

 be sooner attained, by a few proper lessons, with 

 study and application, than by years of riding 

 without them. 



To conclude, a lady on horseback cannot look 

 too quiet ; she should appear perfectly at her ease, 

 and in perfect temper with her horse ; in short 

 whether natural, or acquired, she should seem, 

 " born with a sweet temper, a light hand, and a 

 good seat."
