Mrs. Owen rides on horseback flanked by two instructors in a park, a setup that suggests a lesson or a supervised ride. Horseback riding was a popular pastime among women of means in American cities in the early twentieth century, and bridle paths in large city parks were a common place to see it. The picture belongs to the George Grantham Bain Collection, a body of glass negatives made by the Bain News Service, a photo agency that supplied newspapers with pictures of people and events. The record gives no date, and the names and title come from unverified caption data, so the exact park and year are worth checking against the original card.
