THE FLAT AND ACROSS COUNTRY 

 A Guide to Practical Horsemanship by Catot M. H. HAYES. 



Illustrated ey STURGESS. 



" The book is one that no man who has ever sat in a saddle can fail to read with interest." — Illustrated Sporting ana 

 Dramatic Neius. 



"The general directions are inmost cases in accordance with our own opinions; and Mr. Hayes has supplemented his 

 own experience of race-riding by resorting to Tom Cannon, Fordham, and other well-known jockeys for illustration. 'The 

 Guide' is, on the whole, thoroughly reliable; and both the illustrations and the printing do credit to the publishers." — Field. 



"A master of his subject." — Standard. 



"An excellent book on riding." — Truth. 



"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 recognized horsemen of the period. — The Sporting Life. 



"An eminently practical teacher, whose theories are the outcome of experience, learned not in the study, but on the 

 road, in the hunting field, and on the racecourse." — Baity 1 s Magazine.
