Synopsis
Excerpt from Riding Habits and Habits of Riding, or an Enquiry Into the Most Proper Position and the Most Becoming Dress for Ladies on Horseback: To Which Is Added the Riding School, or Elementary Instruction in Horsemanship, Addressed to the Late H. C. Esq.
Strange as the shape of these cloth brogues may appear when distended as in the drawing, yet when they are drawn in plaits round the waist, by means of the tie which passes through the hem, their appearance is that of the customary English riding habit slightly dragging on the ground. From their breadth they allow of just as much room as the habit does for placing the leg over the pummel, and they have this advantage, that there is no opening beneath but for the feet to go through, so that a fall from the saddle is entirely exempt from those consequences which some females dread more than bruises or even broken bones. Thus a lady with a cloth jacket and sher wals of the same colour, without discomposing the other parts of her dress, has but to slip them on, and she will be to all appearance in her habitual riding costume, only that she gets rid of a foot or two of skirt and the mud generally collected by it.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history and evolution of female equestrianism, specifically focusing on the controversial topic of riding habits and posture. The author takes us on a journey through time, exploring the origins of the traditional side-saddle and its impact on women's riding experiences.

It encourages a reevaluation of conventional practices, advocating for a riding style that prioritizes both safety and individual freedom. Ultimately, this book invites readers to question the status quo and consider how seemingly mundane aspects of life, like riding a horse, can be deeply intertwined with cultural norms and evolving notions of femininity.
