| Summary | "Der Damen-Reitsport" by Richard Schoenbeck is a detailed guide on equestrian practices for women, written in the late 19th century. This work explores the art of riding for ladies, discussing topics such as proper riding postures, equipment, and the significance of aesthetics while riding. Schoenbeck delves into the history of female riders and argues for the legitimacy and importance of women participating in horseback riding as both a sport and a social activity. At the start of the book, the author outlines the current state of women in equestrian sports, asserting that horseback riding remains a vibrant and popular activity among women, despite challenges from new pastimes like cycling. He reflects on the evolution of women's horseback riding, contrasting past societal norms with contemporary practices. The text also presents various motivations for women riding, from passion and health benefits to societal expectations of elegance and style. By examining both historical perspectives and modern considerations, Schoenbeck intends to empower women in their equestrian pursuits while emphasizing the significance of elegant presentation and skill.
