ried inward across the body, for tlie movement there 

 depends, not on the general course of the winding 

 line, but on the direction in which the cross-line 

 end is drawn by the point of application, and 

 whether the leg, in connection with a convexity, is 

 following the reduction movement of the old cross- 

 line end, or, in connection with a concavity, the 

 establishment of the new one, the direction is alike 

 across the central line of the body. 



The reactions will hold good for all the " spines" 

 (§ 118), and thus the foee-legs 7nay receive lateral as 

 well as other motion from two sources, the body or 

 the necJc, and be differently moved accordiQgly as 

 they are in the trotting or the pacing connection. 



§ 204 Since the spur (§ 199) developes the pri- 

 mary section of that posterior winduig line, whose 

 point of appUcation Hes on its own side — i. e., the 

 left spur the primary section of the left posterior 

 line, and so on — its appHcation on a convexity 

 would cause (§ 203) the corresponding hind-leg to 

 move across the body with the reduciag posterior 

 cross-line end. 



When the left rein pressed upon the left convex 

 of the lower C of the neck, at the same time that 

 the right bit, drawing the lower jaw of that side on 

 to its outer bearing, checks the formation of the
