EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Doreen Long, a distinguished horsewoman of the late 19th century, is captured in this photograph as she gracefully rides side-saddle, her riding crop firmly planted in her hand. Dressed in the height of fashion for the era, Lady Doreen wears an elegant riding habit with a matching hat adorned with a feather, adding a touch of sophistication to her daring equestrian pursuits. The photograph, taken circa 1889, showcases the confidence and poise of this intrepid woman as she expertly manages her horse, its ears pricked forward in response to her commands. Side-saddle riding was a popular pastime among the aristocracy during this period, and Lady Doreen Long was no exception. This style of riding allowed women to maintain their femininity while participating in the sport, and it was considered a symbol of elegance and refinement. However, it required a great deal of skill and balance, as the rider had to straddle the horse with one leg hanging down the near side and the other leg draped over the horse's rump. Lady Doreen Long's love for horses began at an early age, and she quickly developed a reputation as an accomplished rider. She was known for her daring feats, including racing against men and participating in steeplechases. Her fearless attitude towards riding earned her the respect and admiration of her peers, and she became a role model for other women who sought to challenge societal norms and pursue their passions. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman who defied expectations and embraced the thrill of the ride. Lady Doreen Long's legacy continues to inspire women today, reminding us that with determination and courage, we too can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.
