 course, unless certain that she can do 

 so without inconveniencing some one 

 else who may have been going straight 

 at it. 



It is inexcusable to turn from one 

 place to another by cutting in ahead of 

 following riders. It throws their horses 

 out of their stride, and may force them 

 to pull up in order to avoid a collision.

 rection, a woman must assure herself 

 that she is at least half a dozen lengths 

 in front of her follower, who is going 

 straight, or she must wait until she has 

 been passed.
