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.
