Excerpt from The Young Lady's Equestrian Manual Nor is riding on horseback attended with that danger to ladies, attributed to it by the indolent, the melancholy, and the timid; Accidents, indeed, in the side-saddle, are of extremely rare occurrence. Strange as it may seem, it is, however, an incontrovertible fact, that horses, in general, are much more docile and tem perate, with riders of the fair sex, than when. Mounted by men. This may be attributed, partially, to the more backward position, in the saddle, of the former than the latter; but, principally, perhaps, to their superior delicacy of hand in managing the reins.
