2.
Secondly,
when
riding
with
a
gentleman,
remember
that
you
are
best
placed
on
the
left
side;
because
in
that
position
the
graceful
flow
of
your
habit
is
seen
to
the
greatest
advantage,
while
it
does
not
inconvenience
the
gentleman
by
getting
entangled
with
his
stirrup,
nor
does
it
receive
the
splashes
of
his
horse.

But
when
you
have
a
double
attendance
of
cavaliers,
if
you
be
at
all
a
timid
rider,
it
may
become
discreet
to
"pack"
you
(forgive
the
homely
phrase)
between
the
two,
since,
in
this
position,
you
are
the
most
thoroughly
protected
from
your
own
horse's
shying,
or
from
other
horses
or
vehicles
approaching
you
too
closely,
being
thus
forced
to
take
that
part
of
the
road
to
which
the
better
judgment
of
your
companions
inevitably
guides
you.
If
you
be
an
accomplished
equestrian,
you
will
prefer
being
outside,
and
(as
has
been
said)
to
the
left.
Sit
erect
in
the
middle
of
your
saddle,
turning
your
face
full
towards
the
head
of
your
horse.
Cling
as
closely
as
possible
to
the
saddle,
but
avoid
stooping
forward,
or
using
your
hands
to
keep
you
in
your
seat.
Nervous
motions
on
horseback
are
not
only
ungraceful,
but
dangerous,
as
your
horse
will
not
make
any
allowance
for
the
delicacy
of
your
nerves,
and
may
prove
his
objections
to
a
jerking
hand,
or
a
twitching
rein,
in
a
most
decided
and
disagreeable
manner.
