| Summary | "Riding and Driving for Women" by Belle Beach is a practical guide on equestrian skills written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on providing foundational knowledge of riding and driving specifically for women, addressing both the techniques involved and the social aspects of horse riding. It likely serves as a manual for female riders seeking to improve their skills, comfort, and confidence in handling horses. The opening of the book introduces the author's insights based on her extensive experience as a professional horsewoman. It emphasizes the importance of form in riding, proposing that both balance and proper positioning are crucial for a successful riding experience. Furthermore, the author advocates for the inclusion of riding in a child's education and outlines her belief that self-made riders often lack essential knowledge gained through formal instruction. This segment sets the stage for a thorough exploration of riding principles that will follow, highlighting the book's educational intention and practical applications.
