The Hunting-FieldExcerpt from The Hunting-Field In a former work, namely, "Practical Horsemanship," I gave such hints on ordinary riding as I trusted would be useful to the reader, based as they were on principles that I found, when put in practice, had usually answered their intended purpose. But that work was confined exclusively to road riding; and my motive in limiting it to that branch of equestrianism arose from deference to what I conceived might be the wishes and interest of the reader. If he only wants to practise road riding, he has there the best advice I can give; and if he wishes to become acquainted with hunting riding, he will find the subject discussed in the present volume - "The Hunting-Field."
