De Hurst is a guidebook on equestrian practices written in the late 19th century. This instructional volume aims to equip young women with essential skills and knowledge for riding, while advocating for safety and good form. The author's focus is on simplifying the learning process for female riders, as opposed to delving into overly technical jargon. The beginning of the guide emphasizes the importance of a safe and gradual introduction to riding, particularly for young girls. The author warns against the dangers of placing children on horses at too early an age and argues that developing confidence and proper technique are crucial. Moving forward, the text outlines basic principles and preparatory lessons for aspiring equestriennes, stressing the importance of selecting a suitable horse, appropriate attire, and maintaining good posture for enhanced riding experience and safety.
