Excerpt from Riding and Driving: An Useful Handbook of Valuable Information on Man's Most Faithful Friend the Horse
The saying that whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well, is especially true of riding and driving. The horseman has to study not only the comfort of his horse and himself, but his safety as well; while in driving, the lives of others are constantly committed to the care of the driver. It follows, therefore, that one should spare no pains in acquiring a correct style. A well-known colonel, who wrote a book on horsemanship, and was one of the finest horsemen ever seen, was accustomed to assert that good riding, besides being much more comfortable, was a great deal easier to learn than bad riding; and there is much truth in the remark. It is with the object of helping the aspirant to equestrian honors to acquire a correct style that we put this little book into his hands. As far as possible all technical words have been avoided, and, if literary style is sometimes sacrificed, it is with the aim of making the directions clear.
