| Summary | "Hand-book for Horsewomen" by H. L. de Bussigny is an instructional guide focused on equitation, written in the late 19th century. The book addresses the unique challenges that women face in horsemanship, proposing methods that combine both the English and continental riding styles. It emphasizes the importance of understanding horse management, proper riding techniques, and the specific needs of female riders to become proficient equestrians. The opening of the text establishes a framework for the discussion of riding styles, contrasting the English and continental techniques, and explaining their relevance for ladies who ride. It highlights how the common perception that women cannot ride as effectively as men is a misconception, provided they receive proper instruction tailored to their needs. De Bussigny delves into the fundamental aspects of mounting, dismounting, and maintaining a correct position on horseback, while also addressing the attire and equipment that facilitate a comfortable riding experience. Overall, this introduction sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the skills necessary to become an accomplished horsewoman. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
