DESCRIPTION OF PLATES.
The first figure represents Waite’s Improved Seat.
The position is on the same system as the Cavalry, but being more négligé in appearance, and much less constrained in feeling, although equally correct, imparts a more elegant and graceful seat to the rider.
Heavy Dragoon.
Hussar.
Racing.
Hunting.
Park.
The first figure represents the General Seat of Ladies on their saddles.
The second shows the position of a Lady when mounted according to Mr. Waite’s Method of tuition; by it a firm seat is gained on the saddle, and consequently it is more secure than the usual seat; being also more graceful and elegant in appearance, and giving the rider a superior command over her horse, and obviating the danger of the habit-skirt becoming entangled in the horse’s legs.
