At Ease With Horses MOL 102

Here was a once-frail, five-foot-two woman who could harness and ride horses as well as most men. 2A number of references describe her horseback riding in the Colorado mountains, for pleasure as well as for travel. See Manuscript Releases 3:158, 163, 170; Manuscript Releases 8:121; Manuscript Releases 20:208. Further, based on her own experience, she strongly urged that boys should learn, either at home or in school, how “to make a bed and put a room in order, to wash dishes, to prepare a meal, to wash and repair his own clothing.” Girls should “learn to harness and drive a horse, and to use the saw and hammer, as well as the rake and hoe.” 3Education, 216.
