Vol 1. Grubb〕 As Joan Grubb, she first came to public attention by abandoning the convention of riding side saddle, as was expected of women. She was the first woman to ride astride at the Olympia London International Horse Show,〔(), Fethard-Killusty Annual Emigrants' Newsletter, 1988: Joan de Sales La Terriere〕 where her 'gentleman's' style of riding caused controversy, she persisted in doing so at other international competitions. Mark Bence-Jones in his book ''Twilight of the Ascendancy'', described the then Joan Grubb as one of the "fast women" who was viewed with suspicion for their contempt for the traditional role of women.〔(Twilight of the Ascendancy ), Mark Bence-Jones: see 'Grubb' & 'de Sales La Terriere'.〕 She became friends with other outspoken women of her day, including Dorothea Conyers and Constance Markievicz.〔'Irish Life' Magazine. Vol 3. 11 October 1914. p.5.〕 Her riding career was cut short at the outbreak of World War One, where she served as an ambulance driver with the Red Cross. After the war she married her second husband,〔Her first husband was Capt. Gerard A. O'Callaghan, who was killed during World War One〕 Lieut. Col. F.J.B. de Sales La Terriere, a Scotsman.〔(Burke's Peerage & Gentry ), de Sales La Terriere, Frank James Bulmer〕
