To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
* For riding a race or a fox-hunt this may answer; but muscular power is subject to waste, and this method will never do for continuous exertion, being much too fatiguing to the rider, and therefore uncertain.
Nor is this all. " Making," as Sir F. Head says, in describing the hunting seat* "the knee a pivot, or rather hinge, and the legs beneath them the grasp," is like holding a horse -pistol between the tips of the fore - finger and thumb, instead of grasping it in the fall hand.

fitted for holding or grasping than the thigh is ; more- over, it has other functions to perform that interfere with this. The best hunting, steeplechase, and mili- tary riders we have ever seen, all agreed in this one point at least — ^that of depending on the thigh, and not the " under-leg," for their seat ; and hence is de- rived the grand cardinal rule for a good seat : " From the hips upwards movable, in order to enable the rider to vary his balance, or use his weapons ; from the knee downward movable, for the use of the spur, and the control of the horse's hind legs; and between these two points, hip and knee, Jixed, for the seat." Accord- ing to this rule, the middle of the rider adheres, both by weight and muscular action, to the middle of the horse ; according to the other system, the lower third of the rider clings, by muscular action alone, to the horse's shoulders, aided, perhaps, to a certain extent, by the stirrup.
