« I have consequently followed in this book the same progression I observe with pupils who want to learn how to ride merely so as to be able to appear in the Park — the summit of Equestrian ambition of most, and wish to look as well as possible on Horseback — With this, in order to combat the erroneous idea that "hands are bom but cannot be made," I have thrown in a little technical knowledge of the handling of the horse’s mouth, and therefore, some practical advice as to the means of improving a rider’s hands, in fact, of actually giving him "good hands." The reader may reach this most desirable result alone if he studies conscientiously, and has at least some natural ability : if not, he will supply the deficiency with the help of a good teacher, and obtain the same results. » Présentation de l’éditeur (1922)
