P ic tu r e o f a F a m o u s P r is e W in u in g W e s t ­ e r n .Saddle H o r s e . One would know at a glance that this is a western saddle horse, from his beau­ tiful, long flowing tail, which has never been disfigured by being lopped off, an it would have been had this handsome gelding belonged to an eastern rider. The horse is Red Rose, owned by a lady in Fremont, Neb. The illustration is re­ produced from The Breeder’s Gazette. Horseback riding for ladies becomes more fashionable every year, with the increased devotion to physical culture among the feminine sex. A horse well broken for ladies’ riding will therefore always command a good price in the market. Red Rose is a bright chestnut with four white stockings. He is trained perfectly to nine different gaits, a degree of horse accomplishment seldom at- I’KIZK WINNING SADDLE GELDING, tained. Red Rose was sired by Mont­ rose and is now 8 years old. He is one of the greatest prize winners alive as a •addle horse for ladies’ riding. For this purpose he represents almost the ideal shape and action. A canter is the gait best liked among women riders for a steady thing. The height for a woman’s saddle horse is 14$ to 15$ hands. Some horse professors de­ scribe a method of attaching a spur to a woman’s heel which would be ridiculous if it were not dangerous. They direct the lady to buckle tho spur to her boot, then make a hole in the skirt of her rid­ ing habit for the spur to pass through. But lest it get out of the hole, fasten a string to the skirt at each side of the hole and bring the two forward and tie them around the ankle. Nice predica­ ment that “ lady rider” would be in if for any one of a dozen causes which might happen Bhe should suddenly need to disengage her foot and free it from the tangling skirt. G o to with this spur and the foot tied fast to an equestrienne’s skirt t S a fe B u ll P «n . A bull is a good deal like dynam ite- no one knows when he is going to ex­ plode.
