CIDE DICTIONARY

skimmingtonn. [Etymol. uncertain. Perhaps the name of some notorius scold.].
     A word employed in the phrase, To ride Skimmington; that is to ride on a horse with a woman, but behind her, facing backward, carrying a distaff, and accompanied by a procession of jeering neighbors making mock music; a cavalcade in ridicule of a henpecked man. The custom was in vogue in parts of England.  [1913 Webster]
