 to Practical Horsemanship. By Capt. M. H. Hayes. 

 Hlustrated by Sturgess. Second Edition. Eevised and 

 Enlarged. Imperial 16mo. Es. 7 (10s. 6d.) 



*' The book is one that no man who has ever sat in a saddle can fail to 

 read with interest." — Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic Neios. 



" An excellent book on riding." — Truth. 



*' Mr. Hayes has supplemented his own experience on race-riding by 

 resorting to Tom Cannon, Fordham, and other well-kno\vn jockeys for 

 illustration. ' The Guide ' is, on the whole, thoroughly reliable ; and both 

 the illustrations and the printing do credit to the publishers." — Field. 



" It has, however, been reserved for Captain Hayes to write what in our 

 opinion will be generally accepted as the most comprehensive, enlightened, 

 and ' all round ' work on riding, bringing to bear as he does not only his 

 own great experience, but the advice and practice of many of the best 

 recognised horsemen of the period." — Sporting Life. 



" Captain Hayes is not only a master of his subject, but he knows 

 how to aid others in gaining such a mastery as may be obtained by the 

 study of a book," — The Standard.

" Mrs. Power O'Donoghue (more power to her — not that she wants it) 

 shows no sign of 'falling ofif.' Indeed, she shows her readers how to 

 become riders, and to stick on gracefully. She sketches her pupils ' in 

 their habits as they ride, ' and gives them a bit of her mind about bits, and 

 teUs them about spurs on the spur of a moment." — Punch. 



"Mrs. O'Donoghue is great on the subject of a lady's riding-dress, and 



lays down some useful information which should not be forgotten 



From fiist to last she never errs on the side of anything approaching to 

 bad taste, which is more than can be said for some equestriennes." — Field. 



" It is characteristic of her book, as of all books of any value, that it has 

 a distinctive character. Sound common sense, and a thoroughly practical 

 way of communicating instruction, are its leading traits." — Daily News.
