Field.—“We have always been able to commend Captain Hayes’ books as being essentially practical and written in understandable language. As trainer, owner, and rider of horses on the flat and over country, the author has had a wide experience, and when to this is added competent veterinary knowledge, it is clear that Captain Hayes is entitled to attention when he speaks.”
HAYES, Mrs. Edited by CAPT. M. H. HAYES.
The Horsewoman. A Practical Guide to Side-Saddle Riding. With 4 Collotypes from Instantaneous Photographs, and 48 Drawings after Photographs, by J. H. Oswald Brown. Square 8vo., cloth gilt, 10s. 6d.
Times.—“A large amount of sound, practical instruction, very judiciously and pleasantly imparted.”
Field.—“This is the first occasion on which a practical horseman and a practical horsewoman have collaborated in bringing out a book on riding for ladies. The result is in every way satisfactory, and, no matter how well a lady may ride, she will gain much valuable information from a perusal of ‘The Horsewoman.’ The book is happily free from self-laudatory passages.”
The Queen.—“A most useful and practical book on side-saddle riding, which may be read with real interest by all lady riders.”
