WOMEN'S HEALTH

Psychological Value.
"Riding as a sport for women has
a very definite physiological value,
as well as being a most pleasurable
recreation," state Miss Vanessa

always something new to learn,"
Miss Glenn continued, "and every
time one rides a different horse,
there is an enjoyable new elementI
