Excerpt from Riding and Hunting
About three-quarters of this book is new; the remaining quarter having appeared in the last (third) edition of Riding on the Flat and Across Country, 47 illustrations of which have been utilised. The present work contains 260 illustrations.
In the former book I made no mention of hunting; because, when I wrote it, my riding experience, except when I was a boy in Ireland, had been chiefly confined to steeplechasing, racing, schooling and pig-sticking in India, and to military riding when I was a subaltern in a field battery. On my return to England in 1892, after teaching Boers and other residents in South Africa how to break in horses, I was fortunately able to spend two seasons in Leicestershire and one in Cheshire. The knowledge gained during these three years impressed me so much with the fact that riding in England is almost inseparable from hunting, that I determined to combine the two subjects as soon as I could collect sufficient fresh material and new illustrations to justify the change of the former title to Riding and Hunting. During the last four years, I made a special study of the Continental system of military riding. Being in no way a hound man, I sought and obtained the valuable aid of Captain King-King, late 13th Hussars, whom I had the pleasure of knowing at Melton Mowbray.
