ON PROGRESSION. 195 



The walk consists of four motions, which 

 may be particularized as follows, by the legs A, 

 B, C, D. Vide pi Uyfig, 1, 2, 



In Jig. \, the horse lias advanced the near* 

 fore leg (A) and placed it again on the ground ; 

 this action being completed, the off hind leg 

 (C) is elevated and advanced under the body, 

 but before it reaches the ground, the off fore 

 \e^ (B) is raised and advanced, in order to make 

 room for it, as is particularly the case when the 

 horse oversteps the print of the fore foot with 

 his hind foot. When the off hind leg (C) has 

 reached the ground (vide fig, 2) the horse stands 

 upon three legs, forming a triangle (A, C, D). 

 When the off fore leg (B) alights on the ground, 

 the near hind leg (D) commences its action, 

 and is advanced in the same manner as before. 



* The near legs are those on the same side on which 

 the rider mounts.
