"""Muntwitz gives the reader excellent insights into the material culture of women’s equestrianism. ... This is fascinating reading for all interested in how the intertwinement of material culture, gender, social class, nation, and whiteness influenced who participated in the sport and related activities and how the different positions were more or less important in various times and places."" - Susanna Hedenborg, Journal of Sport History ""For the reader, the history of female riders and female riding developing from the limited possibilities in the sidesaddle to the freedom of movement when riding astride, is – from my personal perspective at least – an unexpected and very refreshing picture of the British female rider."" - Petra Andersson, Idrottsforum"
