Miss Cochrane rides horse astride rather than side saddle, Greymouth show

About this image

DescriptionFound in Farmer magazine.

Rick Giles: This is Miss Isabella Lamberton Cochrane (b.1887) of Reefton whose family moved to Shakespeare St, Greymouth, in 1907. They were a very sporty family. Bella married Percy Smith in 1916.
This picture probably comes from Nov. 1906 because Bella did win the Young Ladies' Riding Competition on this occasion.
Her father, William, had purchased a livery business in Boundary St, Greymouth, in 1907, so would have had all the latest stuff. It makes sense that Bella would be showcasing it.
