About this book
A secure seat begins with understanding how a horse moves. Alice M. Hayes builds her teaching around that practical concern, drawing on years of riding and on experience with pupils and difficult horses. This enlarged second edition, published in 1903, covers the equipment and skills of riding side-saddle, from selecting a horse and fitting a saddle to managing reins, clothing and fences. Photographs give the instructions a visible reference point.
Her account of lessons without reins pays close attention to balance, flexibility and the timing of a rising trot. Small movements of the knee, ankle and body receive patient explanation, showing how much technique lies behind an apparently easy seat. Chapters on hunting, riding abroad and kindness to horses widen the scope.
