| Meer info | = The very rare British first edition. Pages 346 to 378 are richly illustrated ads for equestrian gear like saddles, boots, habits, and hats; books on hunting and the care of horses; and books on the food, culture, and wildlife of India. Contains an index. The cover-design identical to the USA first edition, only in gilt. Nannie Lambert Power O'Donoghue (1843 - 1940) was an Irish journalist, novelist, poet, and the first person to ride Ireland's three most formidable steeplechase courses without a refusal or a mistake. As one of the most notable equestrians of her day, O'Donoghue observed the subpar skills of other woman equestrians and wrote the present work as an "exhaustive" guide "covering dress, tackle, mounting, seat, and all aspects of riding and care for horses," (Hourican). She also included stories of her own riding career and adventures in the Meath and Kildare foxhunting clubs. O'Donoghue's journalism career included writing for the Irish Times, the Lady's Pictorial, and other periodicals, as well as editing the Irish Society. Her novels included The Knave of Clubs (1868); Unfairly Won (1882); and A Beggar on Horseback (1884), her best and most successful novel. |
