How to Ride (Classic Reprint) Clark, Thomas, a

Publisher Marketing: Excerpt from How to Ride It is not my intention in these few pages to try and convince the public that merely by reading some books on horsemanship, they can become expert horsemen or horsewomen; far from it, but what I do say, is this, that if any one cares to read this little volume, and will remember the advice given in it, I feel sure that it will greatly aid them in the knowledge of riding. I have given instruction for many years in Europe and America. As a child, I had more opportunity to indulge my taste, or, I may say, passion, for horses and horseback riding, then a great many others had. My father owned from sixty-five to ninety horses all the time, some of which were celebrated race horses, and one which he owned was fortunate enough to win the Grand National Race, which takes a horse our of the common can do. As we lived within a short distance of one of the best packs of hounds in England, my father always kept a standing number of hunters, so that his friends could follow the chase.
