THE SEAT AND BALANCE. 



The body should always be in a situation, as well to 

 preserve the balance, as to maintain the seat. 



One of the most common errors committed by ladies 

 on horseback, who have not been properly taught to 

 ride is hanging by the near crutch, so that, instead of 

 being gracefully seated in the centre of the saddle, with 

 the head in its proper situation, and the shoulders 

 even, the body is inclined to the left, the head is 

 brought to the right by an inelegant bend of the neck, 

 the right shoulder is elevated, and the left depressed.
