"When I am well enough, I should like to be following my father, or chasing the buffalo with the brave hunters of the prairie. Still, I should be sorry to go away from you and those who have been so kind to me." "But it will be a long time before you are able to sit on horseback, or to endure the wild camp-life of a hunter, and until that time comes you must let me teach you."
You're always mistaking people. It might have been someone else." "I know Harry Dale on horseback two miles off!" roared Uncle Abel. "And I knowed her by her cape." It was Mary's turn to gasp and stare at Uncle Abel. "Uncle Abel," she managed to say, "Uncle Abel! Wasn't it at our Lower Sliprails you saw them and not Buckolts' Gate?" "Well!" bellowed Uncle Abel.
He had excelled in dancing, and at tennis and mall. On horseback he was admirable, even at a late age. He liked to see everything done with grace and address.

The Duc de Berri, on horseback with Marshal Moncey on one side and Du Pont on the other, reviewed the troops, who passed in companies and troops before them.
But the house which should have been a paradise to me was made a prison by reason of my desires for the hell-created liberty of entering saloons and associating with men as reckless as myself.

In hunting on horseback, he hit the game at full gallop and never missed his aim.
Sir Roger Williams was despatched by Leicester to bear the melancholy tidings to his government, and the Queen was requested to cherish the honest Welshman, and at least to set him on horseback; for he was of himself not rich enough to buy even a saddle.
