Even girls who are fourieeu :r sixteen have to be very careful about this one-hip development if they ride sideways. side-ways. .Turn nin? comes after the pupil has learned to ennter aud do the ordinary g.ttes. Hurdles are placed in the ring and the pony is led to the low bars to make their acquaintance.

Many parents believe his is the best way to start the oungsters and that they get an under-'nieliug under-'nieliug of horses that is never equalled in any other way. It is not an unusual thing to sec children of three or four years sitting on the back of a pony in a wicker carrier in lieu of a saddle. This early acquaintance with horseflesh gives a child a tremendous advantage over children chil-dren who start later. IT is interesting to see girls and boys e.f ten follow the men and women riders in the bunt during the Knglish season. In this country they are falling into the wny of it and the manoer in which some of these children ride is nothing less than astonishing. They canter over the ground on their ponies at a lively gait, scrambling over walls and ditches, stopping at nothing, noth-ing, for a thoroughbred pony is a full of sport and pluck as a thoroughbred horse, A pony will take a fence or n wall almost as high as any horse will clear, but the pony takes it in a iHffcrcut v ny. sometimes landing on top aud making mak-ing a jump up and another down instead of only erne. A girl rider that can cling to her mount under such conelitions ought to be able to ride any kind of a horse and many of thein can. The pony's jump is quite different dif-ferent 111 movement and position from that of the larger animal. As a riding instructor explained, the girl has to know how to cling to the pony as the pony jumps up and then jumps down, while the youngsters from about three o'clock on, First they h-arn the rudiments, just hm any oilier pupil does, familiarizing them- arc found in the average boy or mau.
