FOREWORD 



It is not expected that the following 

 notes will be of value to experienced riders, 

 much less are they intended to represent 

 the lore of a great sport, but the writer 

 has found the suggestions they embody 

 useful in preparing his children for the 

 hunting field, and believes that their more 

 general observance would go far to dimin- 

 ish accidents and promote pleasure.
