ORDINARY RIDING. 



The doublcr is a straight Hnc which we take, either across 

 or down the centre of the school, after having started from 

 some spot in the wall. Having arrived at the opposite 

 wall, we turn, and continually go on to the same hand. 

 (Fig. 25).

The volte is a circle which we describe on some point. 

 But, at the beginning, it is best to do the volte b\' leaving 

 the end of one of the long sides o{ the school. As a horse 

 has always a tendenc}' to enlarge the circle, he will keep 

 in bounds b\' the angle formed b}- the two walls which face 

 him. (Fig- 26).
