EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving captures the contrast between good and bad posture when riding a horse. The detailed illustration, originally featured in Dr. J Rengade's book on health and wellness, showcases the importance of proper alignment while mounted on a horse.
In the image, two women are depicted riding horses - one with impeccable posture, sitting tall and straight with her shoulders back and heels down. This represents the ideal position for riders to maintain balance and control while also preventing strain on their bodies.
On the other hand, the second woman is shown slouching in her saddle, leaning forward with rounded shoulders and raised heels. This poor posture not only affects her ability to communicate effectively with her horse but also puts unnecessary pressure on her back muscles and joints.
Through this engraving, viewers are reminded of the significance of maintaining good posture while engaging in physical activities like horseback riding. It serves as a visual guide for riders to emulate correct positioning for optimal performance and comfort.
Overall, this historical artwork offers valuable insights into equestrian practices of the past while emphasizing timeless principles of body mechanics that remain relevant today.
