A good horseman must be a good rider, though he may not be a perfect one, from age or disability. But the best rider may be a very poor horseman. The best wild rider never spares his horse ; a good horsemen's first thought is for his beast. Still the horseman may by no means be able to equal the rider's feats of daring, endurance, skill, or agility. Whether horseman or riders, we city folks, compared to the saddle-bred man whose lifework is astride a horse, are and remain tenderfoots.
