TALK ON RIDING O'Keefe-Montgomery School

1

The Forward Seat

Mr. Peter Sin gave a very in- teresting talk at the Kowloon Riding School on Saturday, his subject being the "Forward Seat In Horsemanship." A large num- ber of riding enthusiasts were present, among them being Hon. Mr. and Mrs. Leo D'Almada; junt., Mr. O, D'Almada, Mrs. 6. P. M. Anderson, Dr. and Mrs. R. A Basto, Miss J. P. Dalziel Miss G ElBlott, Dr. and Mrs. Fehly, Mr. John Braga. Mr. and Mrs. E Franks Mr. J. Hoare. Cap E. P. Julebin, Mr. J. Key,

Miss P.

F. Mrs.

G. Loseby. Mr. and Maunder, Mr. V. V. Needa, Burg.- Com. and Mrs. Niel, Mr. and Mrs. Vilas Osatananda, Mr. M. S. Phoon. Miss Pope, Mr. and Mrs. J. Smith, Mrs. Peter Sin, Mr. H N. Williamson, Mr. P. 8. Wong. Mr. H. 8. Yung and many others.

THE PROS AND CONS

In the course of his taik Mr. Sin said that among riding people a good deal is heard about the pros and cons of the forward seat

Twenty years ago it was con- sidered correct to treat your saddle as an arm chair, and to lean back a little when cantering. thrusting your feet forward. This was the old fashioned seat and the forward seat is actually the In- troduction of mathematical science to riding.

The term is usually associated with the word Italian, because this method of riding originated. according to authoritative sources, in Italy. Leading books tell is

that Captain Frederico Caprill, a cavalry oneer in the Italian army, revolutionized the system of horse- manship and developed this type

of

seat as the result of inde- fatigable study.

Concluding, the speaker said: The forward seat being logical and based on science, the opposition against it is weakening. We all know the opposition that science invariably meets with, in what- ever direction it attempts to ad- vance, and we all know the type of person who claims that what was good enough for his father is good enough for him. Neverthe less, selence always wins in the long run, and we may be quite sure that forward seat has come to stay.

A vote or thanks was proposed by the Italian Consal. Comm. A. Blancani, at the conclusion of the talk.

Wednesday 10th March will be HOME FOOTBALL

spare night for the practices on 8th, and 9th March (Le., Serials 13 and 14).
