For some time there has been talk of ladies riding astride, which practice would deprive her of all her feminine grace, and would afford no useful result. The great want in a man’s seat is firmness, which would be still more difficult for a woman to acquire if she rode in a cross-saddle, because her thighs are rounder and weaker than those of a man. Discussion of this subject is therefore useless. Ladies who ride astride get such bad falls that they soon give up this practice. – James Fillis, Breaking and Riding: With Military Commentaries, 1913. bbc/sport/0/equestrian/27097818
